I was born and raised in Chuo Ward, Osaka, and love "okonomiyaki," "yakisoba" and "takoyaki".There are so many yummy restaurants here, but they're always so crowded... Even if these don't taste or look exactly the same as what you'd get in those places, I'm actually quite proud of what I've got here.Everything I've listed here are hints. Yakisoba and stir-fried udon noodles are such simple dishes, but those served at the okonomiyaki shop are really yummy.If you take some extra care during just a couple of steps, your noodles will taste so much better.I know yakisoba dishes vary in taste by region, but I hope you'll try this out at least once! For 1 serving. Recipe by *ai*

In Kansai, the sauces for okonomiyaki, yakisoba, and takoyaki are different. They are all tasty, but I always end up with leftover sauce.Add the sauce after turning off the heat. If you add it while the heat is still on, it will spatter and form dark lumps. Recipe by Marrietty

I always stir fry squid with curry flavoring, so I went for a change.The key is to use fresh squid and not to cook thoroughly. Recipe by Poron526

I love the soy sauce yakisoba noodle at Ousho and wanted to recreate it at home. I think it's pretty close to the original.The key to this recipe is the Chinese stock paste, but you could also use Chinese chicken stock powder or Wei-pa.Cook quickly over high heat! Recipe by Yumi412

I cooked my two favorite ingredients, squid and Japanese leek, with oyster sauce and mayo. It turned out to be a delicious dish! Since my family loved it so much, I posted the recipe here!Scattering some shichimi spice gives the dish a grown-up flavor! It's great as an appetizer to enjoy with drinks.The key is to add everything except for the oyster sauce into the frying pan and mix lightly before heating. Recipe by Donpintan

Since my sons always seem to get really excited when I use quail eggs, I added some in.Using a lot of oil will make the noodles even crispier and they will brown nicely.I recommend cooking the noodles half crisp + half steamed! Recipe by Katakatako

I had a dish like this at an izakaya (Japanese gastropub) which was really good, so I tried re-creating it at home.Use a generous amount of oil to fry the noodles. If you press down on the noodles while you're frying them, they will turn out well. For 2 servings. Recipe by Muuny

I just thought this up when I wasn't sure what to make.If you're using steamed Chinese noodles, omit Step 2 and stir fry over high heat at Step 4 with 4 tablespoons of water added.Always stir-fry over high heat. Be a bit generous with the oil. For 2 servings. Recipe by Kajihara Ato

With a 3 month old girl, I'm always looking for easy recipes I can make in a short amount of time without having to go shopping for extra ingredients. I decided to allow myself a little oil in this recipe since my mastitis has gotten better.It's very richly flavored. If you like lighter flavors, please reduce the amount of seasoning ingredients.Use any vegetables and other ingredients you have in the refrigerator!I recommend adding lots of chopped green onions.Frozen Sanuki udon noodles are firm and delicious.You can also use kishimen noodles or yakisoba noodles instead. For 1 serving. Recipe by Piyokonoshokutaku

This is one of our favorite standard dishes that I've cooked for more than 20 years.If you simmer the squid too long, it'll harden too much, so I stir-fry it separately.You can use the vegetables that you have at home. It's also delicious to use bok choy, bean sprouts, shiitake mushrooms, chikuwa fishcakes, and kamaboko fishcakes, etc. If it's too much work to stir-fry the ingredients separately, you can stir-fry them in order.Please adjust the amount of salt to your liking.

Easy and simple yakisoba recipe for those who don't know what to cook in Japan. This is typical street food during summer festivals in Japan too. ;DUsually we cook yakisoba with some meat! But I didn't have any meat in the fridge. So I used only vegetables and mushrooms for this time. You can make own yakisoba noodle with some vegetables left in your fridge too! So easy!
