Byeong Hun's Fucking Fantastic Pasta

Last night, BH told me he was going to make Italian food for dinner. So I thought it was going to just be a typical spaghetti with tomato sauce or something like that. This was Korean style Italian though... one of the best fusion dishes I've ever had in my life. It was so good that I made BH write down EXACTLY how he made it. So, here is the recipe:

Ingredients:
2 cups of water
1/4 cup of soy sauce (preferably Korean soy sauce, but I guess Kikkoman will be fine)
4 dried Thai peppers (optional... but recommended)
1/2 package of whole wheat spaghetti
3 cloves of garlic minced
1 onion
4 small chili peppers (again optional, but again recommended)
1/2 of a carrot
1/2 of a leek
1/2 a cup of broccoli
Tablespoon olive oil
Tablespoon hoisin sauce
Oregano
Basil
1/4 cup of shredded white cheddar cheese

Procedure:
1) Mix together the water and the soy sauce.
2) Pour half of the mixture into a dutch oven over medium heat. Set aside the other half.

3) Add the dried Thai peppers to the dutch oven.
4) Chop up your garlic, carrot, leek, chili peppers, and onion. I just hack away at them, but BH always does a great job and cuts them on the bias.

We used green beans, but they don't really fit the dish...

 
5) When the soy/water mixture comes to a boil, add the spaghetti. There is not much liquid, so you may have to break the noodles.
6) About halfway through the cooking process of the noodles, throw the vegetables, olive oil, hoisin sauce, and herbs into the dutch oven.
7) While all of this is cooking, the mixture will dry out. Every once in a while, add some of the reserve soy/water mixture. The whole time, continue stirring to make sure the noodles do not burn.

8) When the noodles are pretty close to al dente, add the shredded cheddar cheese. Make sure it melts evenly.

ENJOY!

I guess it would be possible to cook the spaghetti separately, but BH's method helps the noodles absorb a lot of flavor. This dish is amazing... Simply amazing.
