Hiatus

Though I will be updating in the future, this blog is temporarily on hiatus due to the fact I cannot stand to be around food right now. Can't smell it, can't cook it and have trouble eating it. Until this phase passes, I likely won't be updating. I figure in a month or so I should be back. Thanks for waiting! ^_^

Yaki soba

Yakisoba is Japanese fried noodles. However, it doesn't actually use soba noodles (buckwheat). Yakisoba uses, well, Yakisoba noodles. My husband prepared this dish, seeing as he is going to be doing a lot more cooking in the coming months. I guess he is practicing for those days when I am utterly unable to go near food, for reasons I am not quite ready to share. In Japan, Yakisoba is kind of 'fast food' but if you break it down, it is quite healthly. Lean pork is used, as well as cabbage, carrots and bean sprouts. The sauce is either Bulldog brand or a generic yakisoba sauce that comes bottled. The garnishes are powdered seaweed and pickled ginger. It is absolutely delicious! To make things easy, you can purchase yakisoba kits at asian grocery stores. It comes with both the noodles and sauce (sometimes in powdered form). Very easy! ^_^
