Yakisoba is popular Japanese street food and often found at festivals or outdoor food stalls. Yakisoba is literally translated as grilled noodle. Most of the ingredients are available in any supermarket. It is also easy to whip it up so it’s a perfect dish to have during the weeknight. Different types of meat can be used but, in this recipe, I used pork belly which is fattier and tastes softer and juicer. I like to use lots of vegetables so it not only creates different textures for this dish but is also healthier. Wide varieties such as cabbage, bell pepper, carrot, or veggies of your choice can be used. This dish is not complete until the sauce, which gives that umami flavor, is added. I’ve created mine by blending Worcestershire and soy sauce together. It’s salty but also gives the noodle that extra kick. See my video instruction here: https://youtu.be/frfnNnE2UMM
