Introduction & history

The Japanese fast food staple, yakisoba is a simple-to-make stir-fry prepared with noodles, thinly sliced pork, vegetables like carrots, cabbage, bean sprouts, onion, and mushrooms, and a special yakisoba sauce. The noodles are cooked or rehydrated then mixed with thinly sliced pork and vegetables that have been stir-fried. Once the noodles have been cooked a bit, the entire dish is poured over with the sauce, and everything is thoroughly mixed until well-coated. For serving, yakisoba is garnished with either aonori (seaweed powder), beni shōga (shredded pickled ginger), katsuobushi (bonito fish flakes), or Japanese-style mayonnaise before serving. Also, a sunny side up egg can be placed on top. If yakisoba is served in a bun, we are talking about yakisoba-pan, which is equally as popular.
