Japanese Pork Yakisoba (豚肉焼きそばの作り方)

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

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

In Japan, soba means buckwheat noodle but it is actually not used in this recipe. What’s used is the Chinese noodle and they come in either pre-boiled pack that you can find in the market or make them fresh by boiling ramen or Chinese noodles.

* Step 2

Thinly julienne ½ a red bell pepper

* Step 3

Slice ½ a yellow onion

* Step 4

Slice the carrot into thin strips about 1-1/2” long

* Step 5

Chop the green onion into 2” long and then thinly julienne them

* Step 6

Slice the cabbage

* Step 7

Cut the pork belly into small bite-size

* Step 8

In a pan on medium-high heat, add 1-1/2 tbsp of oil and sauté yellow onion until fragrant

* Step 9

Next, add pork belly into the pan and stir fry until the pork is no longer pink.

* Step 10

When the pork is fully cooked, adds carrot, bell pepper, and cabbage. Continue to sauté until the vegetables become tender

* Step 11

Add the noodles and green onion into the pan. Combine the noodles with the pork and vegetables.

* Step 12

Lastly, add the soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Stir fry the noodles until the ingredients are all well mixed. Keep an eye on your heat and adjust accordingly so the noodles won’t burn.
