Hi there
Wafu pasta (和風) which is japanese style pasta is one genius way of cooking pasta. They are lighter on the palate than some of the popular Italian recipes around, and with that dose of Japanese asian flavours in it, you can create many different pasta dishes.
You can add fish roe, seaweed, pork slices, mushrooms, and many other asian ingredients to this dish, very versatile and for the older generation, they also prefer this flavor as well. 🙂 This time round I have decided to use meihijiki.
Hijiki itself if a seaweed from japan, which has high dietary fibre and essential minerals, and it is good for health and beauty. You can use these for simmered dishes with soya sauce & japanese cooking wine, first look at it, and you might think it looks a bit strange, all short black strings of seaweed, but after cooking you can taste that subtle aroma from the seaweed, and I like how their texture like too, besides it is very easy to prepare too. 🙂
Because this wafu pasta does not come with a lot of sauce, you can cook this and leave it to eat and you won’t feel soggy at all, it is more like fried noodles. 🙂
Ingredients needed
- Hijiki x 1 table spoon
