this the first time i did a kind of “wafu (和风) pasta” other than mentaiko pasta. & the taste was wonderful!
i followed the recipe on japanesecooking101 here.
very simple ingredients – just streaky bacon, shimeji mushrooms & yellow onions.
i did it again today 1.10.2015 just a few days later using leftover ingredients, this time using shitake mushrooms as i did not have shimeji. my wife & i were going out for dinner. my daughter came back from her squash game at 9pm & walloped the whole dish! ^^
& the sauce again is the key – dashi (i used chicken/vegetable stock), mirin, tsuyu & a little sugar (optional) & reduced.
taste was, what can i say, just exquisite. it’s not better than most of my pastas which are also very good, but it’s good! equally good! 🙂
