"Wafu directly translates to Japanese style. Kinoko, or mushroom, wafu pasta is a spaghetti dish made with a variety of Japanese mushrooms (and occasionally bacon) in an umami-rich soy-butter sauce emulsified with pasta water. Today, I'd love to show you how to make my mushroom wafu pasta. Wafu just refers to anything done in the Japanese style. We have a pot of water going right now. So let's get started."
"Don't forget to take out a bit of pasta cooking water. This will help us with our sauce. We're going to saute up a trio of mushrooms. Once you get a little bit of brown on the edges, you can season with salt and pepper. Push them to the side. Combine it with some soy sauce and butter to create a really easy, pantry-friendly pasta sauce."
Wafu means Japanese style and kinoko wafu pasta pairs spaghetti with a variety of Japanese mushrooms and sometimes bacon. The sauce combines soy sauce and butter into an umami-rich emulsion using reserved pasta cooking water. Begin with a pot of boiling water and set aside a bit of the pasta water before draining. Sauté a trio of mushrooms until they brown, season with salt and pepper, then push them aside and add soy and butter. Emulsify the sauce with pasta water and toss with spaghetti. Plate and finish with sliced scallions and shredded nori.
