Yakisoba
Yakisoba(やきそば) is a popular Japanese stir-fried noodle dish. Despite its name, which means “fried soba,” it is actually made with wheat-based noodles similar to ramen, not buckwheat soba noodles. The dish typically consists of noodles stir-fried with a mix of vegetables like cabbage, carrots, and onions, along with meat such as pork or chicken. It’s flavored with a savory sauce that is slightly sweet and tangy, similar to Worcestershire sauce. Toppings often include pickled ginger, dried seaweed, and bonito flakes. Yakisoba is commonly enjoyed at festivals, street stalls, or as a casual meal at home.
