yakisoba

Sauced Japanese noodles

Yakisoba is a Japanese stir-fried noodle dish made with wheat noodles, vegetables, and meat—typically pork—seasoned with a sweet and savory sauce similar to Worcestershire.

Despite the name containing *soba* (buckwheat noodles), yakisoba uses wheat noodles.

It's a popular street food and festival staple: We grabbed yakisoba from a food stall at the matsuri.
