Wafu Pasta
Konnichiwa, it's Nami from just one cookbook.
Have you heard of Wafu Pasta?
It's a Japanese style pasta and it's really popular in Japan.
There are many Wafu pasta restaurants,
and of course, we make it home as well.
What makes it different from Western pasta,
we use Japanese ingredients and seasonings to make Japanese style pasta.
Today, I'll be making it with shrimp and spring vegetable asparagus,
and I also use gluten free soy sauce and pasta to make this dish gluten-free.
of course, you can use regular pasta and soy sauce too.
