JAPANESE STIR FIRED NOODLES

Yakisoba (焼きそば) is the Japanese version of stir-fried noodles. The noodles are stir fried with sliced pork and plenty of vegetables and then coated with a sweet and mildly spicy sauce that distinguishes it from other Asian stir-fried noodles.

Yakisoba is one of the most popular street foods in Japan, and Yakisoba stalls can always be found at festivals.
