Wagamama's Yaki Soba (2024)

Salty, sweet with a hint of ginger and sesame this Yaki Soba from Wagamama is sure to please your cravings for Asian flavors!

There are two restaurants in the UK that we always go back to when we visit England. One is Nando’s (home of the Portuguese flamed grilled Peri-peri chicken) and Wagamama (restaurant featuring modern Japanese-inspired cuisine).

Granted that there is Wagamama now in the US, particularly in Boston, since we don’t often go there, we make sure that we don’t miss the chance to visit our favorite branches in London. 🙂

Hubby also bought me 2 cookbooks from Wagamama – that’s how much we love their recipes – so I can re-create them when we suddenly have a craving for their delicious noodles and other yummy offers!

So, I thought since we have just been to Wagamama, it’s just right to share with you this recipe which is the original recipe from the restaurant itself.

Of course, you can tweak it to your taste if you like and adjust the seasoning, too. Don’t be intimidated by the number of ingredients – they all work together to make this dish so delicious.

We love this dish because of its complexity in flavors and these ingredients all add up to make one scrumptious bowl.

However, if you don’t have all of them or the garnish are hard to find, feel free to just use what you have. I believe the flavorful sauce will be enough to make a yummy dish.

Also, feel free to use your favorite noodles for this recipe. Hope you enjoy it! In the meantime, we can’t wait to go back to London (we’re in Austria as I write) and eat at Wagamama’s again! 🙂
