TRADITIONAL JAPANESE RECIPE: Yakisoba is a traditional Japanese stir fry Noodle dish with pork and vegetables.
Yakisoba (焼きそば) started appearing in Japan around the 1930's but with a different name back then, as So-su (= Sauce) Yakisoba (ソース焼きそば).
So, it has been cooked for about 100 years in every Japanese home and every street and restaurants, as it's easy to prepare. Today's Yakisoba is the most popular food found in stalls at popular festivals, school events, snack shops and so on.
The best way to cook Yakisoba is to use a large cookware like a wok. Nice char will add fantastic flavors and give it more street food character. To do so, reduce the amount of vegetables so that the Noodles are not steamed with the wanter inside the vegetables.
Always stir fry the Vegetable first and loosen up the Noodles while they're cooking.
