Wagamama Ginger Chicken Udon Recipe
This recipe can be adapted according to whatever proteins and vegetables you might already have at home. If you don’t want to use chicken, try beef, pork, duck or tofu instead.
The red onion and scallions are very much part of Wagamama’s Ginger Chicken, but you could substitute white onion if that’s all you have, or leave out the spring onions if you like.
If you can manage to get Japanese pickles (especially the pink ones) they are delicious and authentic additions to the dish. The addition of sweet Japanese Mirin is also well worth it if you can get it, but if you can’t rice vinegar with a pinch of sugar is a reasonable substitute.
If you would like to make your own fresh Udon noodles rather than using a packet, try my ‘How to Make Udon Noodles at Home‘ post.
