I love Wagamama’s. In fact I’d go as far to say it’s one of my favourite places to eat out. However, what I’m less in love with is the price of Wagamama’s; a meal for 2 (with a drink) is likely to set you back by at least £25. So a couple of months ago I decided to try making my own version of a wagamama classic – ramen noodles on the cheap.
Now this can’t be made with any old packet of supernoodles you’ve got lying around; but don’t fear you can get hold of authentic ramen noodles easily from a local oriental supermarket and they only cost at most 65p a pack – and the pack is a LARGE serving.
Most large towns and definitely cities will have an oriental supermarket of some kind it’s just case of scouting it out but once you do you open yourself up to whole new world of oriental (and quite often cheaper than the supermarket) ingredients. I’ve found this website, Oriental Mart which sells them for a mere 30p a pack!
Anyway once you’ve cooked your lovely noodles you’re free to add whatever extras take your fancy – chicken, tofu, veg (even prawns if you’re feeling particularity flush). If you’re really getting into it you can pick up some chinese veg like pak choi (normally about 99p) at the oriental supermarket whilst your buying your noodles.
So give it a go next time you want something different – it sure beats supernoodles on toast!
