Yakisoba noodles are a classic Japanese street food made by stir-frying vegetables, meat and ramen noodles with a sweet and savory sauce. My version retains the authentic taste of this festival favorite with a homemade Yakisoba sauce.

What is Yakisoba?

Yakisoba (焼きそば) is one of Japan’s most beloved street foods, and its name literally means “grilled noodles.” Thought to have originated in Chinese cuisine, it became a popular fast-food meal in the black markets that emerged across Japan after the war. At a time when food was scarce and the nation was rebuilding, yakisoba’s simple ingredients and the ease of cooking it on large steel griddles called teppan (鉄板) made it perfect for these makeshift outdoor stalls. I created this version to capture that street-food spirit using straightforward techniques you can easily replicate at home.

Fine capture, Dinesh. Seems to be very delicious.

ça l'air appétissant bonne journée.
