SPAGHETTI PANCAKE HOUSE-STYLE

I love Filipino-style sweet spaghetti, but Pancake House style SPAGHETTI and MEAT SAUCE hits differently. Pancake House is a popular chain restaurant in the Philippines. They are known for their crispy tacos and spaghetti. Not your typical Filipino spaghetti with red hot dogs and banana ketchup. Their version has a rich and savory beefy taste and a little sweet. So good! I haven’t had it in decades so I tried to recreate it at home.

Instructions
Preheat a wok.
Add cooking oil (2 Tbsp) and ground beef (1 ½ lb).
Break up the ground beef with a wooden spatula let the water from the meat evaporate and brown the meat over medium-high heat.
Add garlic (4 cloves) and onions (½ small) and saute until onions are translucent. Season with salt (to taste) and pepper (to taste)
Add tomato sauce (30 oz), water (½ cup), tomato paste (2 Tbsp), and stir.
Add canned mushrooms (to taste) and liver spread (4 oz) and stir until the liver spread dissolves in the sauce.
Add sugar (⅓ cup), beef bouillon (1 cube), and fish sauce (to taste). Stir. Cover. Turn the heat down to low.
Let it simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the bottom from burning.
Taste if it needs more salt (to taste) or fish sauce (to taste).
Serve over cooked spaghetti noodles and top with shredded mozzarella cheese (to taste). Enjoy!
