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! ^_^
I think I am going to try and make this for the next dinner that my sister and I make. It looks easy enough, and really yummy!
