Yakisoba (焼きそば, “fried noodles”) is the king of street food at Japanese festivals (matsuri): noodles fried on a griddle and tossed in a thick, sweet-sour, umami Worcestershire-based sauce. The noodles are of Chinese origin, but the sauce and the garnish are completely Japanese.

Method

Tap a step once you've finished it.

Mix the sauce ingredients together.
If the noodles are packaged, prepare them as directed (they are often dipped in hot water for 1 minute) and loosen them.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok over high heat and stir-fry the meat for 2–3 minutes; remove.
In the remaining oil stir-fry the onion and carrot for 2 minutes, then the cabbage and mushrooms for 3 minutes.
Add the noodles and toss for 2 minutes so they brown a little; return the meat.
Pour in the sauce and toss for 2 minutes until everything is coated; serve with aonori, red ginger and bonito flakes.

Tips

Cook over high heat in small batches so the vegetables stay crisp and the noodles slightly crisp.
Ready-made yakisoba sauce is sold in shops; a homemade mix works too.
Do not overcook the noodles.
It is also popular stuffed in a bun (yakisoba-pan).
