"Thai Spaghetti" ie Canadian spaghetti... with ketchup

Thai people like to think that this is "ahan falang" [foreigner food], but this is definetely not the way that foreigners eat spaghetti. So, I consider it "Thai food".

Cut the following into small pieces to make the spaghetti sauce:

พริกไทย chile peppers
แครอท carrot
มะเขือเทศ tomato
พริกหยวก green/yellow peppers
หอมหัวใหญ่ onion
หมู pork
ฮอทด็อก hotdogs

Put on a pot of boiling water, and season the water with salt before you add the pasta.
While your pasta is cooking you can start the sauce.

In a wok add some oil and wait until the oil is hot before adding the pork and the hotdogs.
When the pork is fully cooked [it should be brown, not red] you can add the vegetables.
Once the vegetables and meat are cooked fully, turn the heat down and add:

ซอสมะเขือเทศ ketchup

That's right, ketchup. You only need to keep it on the heat for a little longer and then turn the heat off while you mix in the ketchup. Your noodles should be done, you can strain them and pour the sauce overtop.

VOILA!!
