Pork Yakisoba (豚肉焼きそばの作り方)

July 9, 2020Mrs. Lin's Kitchen

Yakisoba is a popular Japanese street food and often found at festivals or outdoor food stalls. Yakisoba literally translates 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 week night.

Ingredient

  • Yakisoba noodles
  • 2/3 lb of pork belly
  • 5 cabbage leaves
  • 1/2 yellow onion
  • 1 stalk of green onion
  • 1/2 red bell pepper
  • 1 medium carrot
  • 3 tbsp. of Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp. of soy sauce
  • 1-1/2 tbsp. of oil

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.

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.
