    Have you heard of Spaghetti Napolitan? It's a Japanese spaghetti pan-fried with sausage, onion and bell pepper, and seasoned with ketchup. I know Ketchup! But it brings back childhood memories and kids digg it. I had a bad stomach so I only had a tiny serving but it hit the spot! ;)

    wasn't ketchup (catsup) originally an asian sauce?

    Tuesday evening, 09/03: old-school grill. Grilled chicken (Carolina-style - BBQ sauce and vinegar marinade), foil packet potatoes and veg (red-skinned potatoes, red and green peppers, red onions, flavorings), side salad (tomato, cuke, scallions, garnish of grated parm/romano, O&V). MFP thinks this is about 1022 cals, 59g protein, 49g fat, 86g carb, 681mg NaCl, well within my daily macros, although I prob should use less oil in the foil packet. Nectarine later as dessert.

    Not really. Ketjap is the Indonesian word for their sweet syrupy soy sauce. Tomatoes are New World.

    California hand rolls with kakiage on the side to dip into miso soup. For the hand rolls we had cucumber, chive, green onion, Japanese omelet, crab sticks, pickled daikon, avocado, sushi rice and nori as well as condiments furikake, wasabi in a tube, kewpie mayo, yamasa soy. Kakiage was thinly sliced onion, grated carrot, courgette, broccoli stems, and spinach leaves made with cold club soda, rice flour and chickpea flour as I am experimenting with being able to make this for a coeliac friend. Miso soup was instant dashi powder, miso, dried hijiki and some green onion and chive.

    Tomato ketchup? No, I can't imagine it was, other ketchups were though. That said, I'm assuming spaghetti napolitan falls into the yoshoku category of Japanese foods.

    Is this a good spaghetti Napolitan recipe? If not, please send a recommendation.

    I have been loving an abomination of spaghetti aglio olio, vietnamese style.

    Yes, I know tomatoes are New World. Heinz, I thought, back in the day, took an Asian thing, made it tomato-based, and voila, our present condiment. Well, thanks for the input.

    See above also; it's just that today, "ketchup (catsup)" is pretty nearly uniformly thought of as a tomato condiment. I had thought the original was based on another fruit. Live and learn! Thanks!

    I tried it when we first arrived in Japan. I’m not a fan but I also tried the traditional meat sauce spaghetti here and it’s amazing! I wasn’t a fan of spaghetti before we moved here either.

    It wouldn't surprise me if their starting were Indonesian ketjap. No tomato in ketjap but as sweet and almost as thick as modern ketchup. Check it out for yourself. ABC is the ubiquitous brand of Indonesian ketjap. Mix ketjap with sambal (chilli paste) to make an Indonesian dressing for tomato salad.

    @acpgee What I mean by traditional meat sauce spaghetti is like what we are used to in the United States. They just make it better here, especially the noodles :)
