Add oil into a hot pan and add sliced canned hot dogs. Let them sear until browned on the edges, then transfer them to a plate using a slotted spoon, leaving the oil in the pan.

Add chopped onion and a pinch of salt to the pan. Cook for about 5-6 minutes until the onions are soft.

Add minced garlic to the onions and sizzle for about 1 minute.

Add ground pork to the pan, breaking it up and stir-frying until evenly browned.

Stir in tomato paste and let it cook for a couple of minutes.

Return the browned hot dogs to the pan with the pork and onions.

Add banana ketchup, chicken stock, and soy sauce to the mixture. Stir well to combine.

Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes to infuse flavors.

In the meantime, cook spaghetti in salted boiling water until just al dente, then drain.

Return the drained spaghetti to the warm pot and add a few generous spoonfuls of the pasta sauce. Mix well to coat the spaghetti evenly.

Scoop the spaghetti onto a large plate and dollop more pasta sauce on top. Finish by topping with grated cheese.
