SIMPLE AND QUICK JAPANESE RECIPES – WAFU PASTA JAPANESE PASTA IN MINUTES

Hi there

Wafu pasta (ๅ’Œ้ขจ) 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. ๐Ÿ™‚ 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 forย 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. ๐Ÿ™‚
