Wasabi + chicken + noodle = patties
[Wasabi chicken noodle patties]
Pure wasabi – as hot or as mild as you want it to be!
Don’t you love that tagline? It really makes you think ‘Oh good, I like my wasabi hot’ OR ‘Oh good, I like my wasabi mild’. After all, the customer is always right! Right? (more…)
