Spaghetti alla Giapponese is my Nikkei take on the perennial favourite spaghetti Bolognese, or Spag Bol in many homes. The inspiration for this dish comes from the large Italian community in Southern Brazil. At home in São Paulo, whatever we cooked, we would add a splash or two of soy sauce, even if we were cooking pasta! This fun, tongue-in-cheek kind of dish uses fine strips of squid ‘spaghetti’, a spicy miso Bolognese sauce and chopped egg yolks for the Parmesan cheese.
