  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir vegetable oil, soy sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and Chinese five-spice powder in a bowl to make dressing.
  • Drain spaghetti and place in a large bowl. Immediately pour dressing over spaghetti and mix well, so the warm spaghetti can soak up the dressing. Allow to cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Mix eggs, leeks, and ham into the cold spaghetti and set aside for 1 hour for flavors to combine. Season with dark sweet soy sauce and more Chinese five-spice powder.
