YAKISOBA (焼きそば)



Yakisoba (焼きそば) image

Yakisoba is a classic Japanese street food made by stir-frying vegetables, meat and noodles with a sweet and savory sauce. My version retains the taste of authentic Yakisoba but adapts the technique and ingredients for non-Japanese kitchens.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

230 grams fresh yellow noodles ((such as ramen))
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
100 grams pork belly ((or bacon, thinly sliced & chopped))
100 grams onion ((~1/2 small onion, sliced))
100 grams cabbage ((~2 leaves, chopped))
60 grams carrot ((~1/2 carrot, julienned))
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1/2 tablespoon honey
¼ teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Aonori ((for garnish))
Benishoga ((for garnish))

Steps:

  • Boil the noodles according to the directions on the package. When the noodles are done, drain and rinse thoroughly with cold water, using your fingers to agitate the noodles. Drain as much water off the noodles as possible by using a dropping motion with both hands and yanking up suddenly. Toss the noodles with 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil to keep the noodles from sticking together.
  • Prep the vegetables and make the sauce by whisking together the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, oyster sauce, honey and white pepper in a small bowl.
  • Heat a large heavy-bottomed frying pan or griddle over high heat until hot. Add 1 tablespoon of oil along with the pork belly or bacon. Fry until the fat from the pork has started to render out.
  • Add the carrots, onions, and cabbage and stir fry using two spatulas until the vegetables are vibrant in color and starting to wilt (they don't need to be fully cooked through yet).
  • Add noodles and toss with the oil in the pan. If you notice they are sticking, add some more oil directly onto the noodles.
  • Drizzle the sauce evenly over the noodles and continue tossing and frying until the noodles are a uniform color and you can smell the sauce starts to caramelize.
  • Plate the yakisoba and sprinkle with aonori and benishoga to garnish.

4 (8 ounce) packages buckwheat soba noodles
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound pork tenderloin, cut against the grain in thin strips
2 cups carrots, cut into julienne strips
1 medium onion, cut into julienne strips
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced

salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 tablespoons pickled red ginger (beni shoga), or to taste
4 tablespoons kizami nori (dried flaked aonori seaweed), or to taste

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook soba in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain noodles and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Add pork and stir-fry with a pinch of salt and pepper, about 5 minutes. Transfer meat to a plate, reserving oil in wok. Add carrots, onion, ginger, and garlic to the wok and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes.

  • Garnish yakisoba with kizami nori and a small pile of beni shoga just before serving.
