Saucy, noodle-y, and full of umami, yakisoba is a hearty, all-in-one dish that is absolutely delicious.
Yakisoba, literally “fried noodles” in Japanese, is a classic noodle stir fry dish that’s one of Japan’s best known noodle dishes, next to ramen, soba, and udon. It’s a well-loved street food, both made at home and served up in restaurants. If you love fried noodle dishes, you’ll love yakisoba.
Contrary to the name, yakisoba is not actually made with soba noodles. Yakisoba is a Japanese take on Chinese noodles and is typically made with precooked wheat noodles that you can find at the grocery store. They’re labeled “yakisoba noodles” at the store.
Yakisoba is extremely easy to make and you can add any ingredient you heart desires. Classic is pork and cabbage, but if you’re skipping out on meat, you can easily substitute in more vegetables or add tofu as the protein. It’s the perfect quick meal and great for dinner and meal prep!
