Notes
Generously use the Salt and Pepper Mix in the dish. The more, the better the taste. There will be some leftover Salt and Pepper Mix. Reserve it in a container and use it for other dishes as you desire. Do not waste it. Once you taste this spice you will use it often.
I use Spaghetti Noodles, but you can also use Udon or Egg Noodles.
