Wagamamas Kuwait - The Noodle is Here!

Great fun, tasty, healthy restaurant with a kid's menu (rare). And such a fab little website they have with free recipes and promotions for members (easy sign up). I did notice in the Cinescape movie schedule there is a 20% off voucher valid til 15/02/2011. You could pick up a schedule on your way to Waga's via the cinemas at 360 Mall. Or download the menus and they deliver (not sure if discount will be valid for delivery).
Very cool! Tel 2530 9506
The chain's website defines wagamama as meaning "wilful / naughty child"; And last time I was in the Windsor, UK branch they lived up to that. My daughter, her cousin and a gaggle of other kiddy diners plastered the walls and floors with noodles, ran around like little crazy people to which the other diners and staff were oblivious. Was fab for us, of course I wouldn't want to be the romantic couple trying to have a quiet night out...

Marinated chicken with orange, soy sauce and ginger – for kids.

This tasty noodle dish is a winner and is fun to make with the little ones.. warning this dish is for kids only! You can also find this recipe in “the wagamama cookbook”– serves 4 small ones

You need for the marinade;
3cm piece of ginger root, peeled and grated
1 garlic clove, peeled and minced
zest and juice of 1 orange
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1tablespoon muscovado sugar

200g boneless dark chicken meat (leg or thigh), roughly chopped
150g medium egg noodles
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
handful of mangetout, thinly sliced
75g baby corn, halved lengthways
100ml chicken stock
1 tablespoon cornflour
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, briefly toasted in a hot, dry frying pan
1 lime, quartered

Instructions:
Combine the marinade ingredients in a small pan and gently heat to dissolve the sugar, allow to cool and add the chicken, toss so that it is well coated and set aside for at least 1 hour; overnight in the fridge is even better. Cook the noodles according to the instructions on the packet, drain and refresh under cold water
Heat the oil in a hot wok, add the chicken (reserve marinade), and stir fry for 2-3 minutes until golden. Add the mangetout, baby corn, reserved marinade and chicken stock and continue to stir fry for 2 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked and the vegetables are just wilting, dissolve the cornflour in 1 tablespoon water, add to the wok and simmer for 1 minute until thickened. Add the noodles and toss through, along with the sesame oil, to ensure everything is well coated and heated through. Serve scattered with the sesame seeds and with a lime wedge.

YUM!
