Pork Yakisoba

This is a simple pork yakisoba with cabbage, onion and bean sprouts using a homemade Yakisoba sauce. It makes a filling one-dish meal with noodles, meat and veggies in one plate. Yakisoba (焼きそば) means Japanese-style fried noodles. After testing & tweaking the recipe, this is one Yakisoba that is full-flavoured just like those I usually takeaway from the Japanese supermarkets. I think homemade yakisoba is slightly healthier due to the healthier oil (I used olive oil) & generous veggies. I can’t wait to cook different versions of Yakisoba in future with this base recipe.

SPECIAL INGREDIENTS (PORK YAKISOBA)

1. Yakisoba Noodles


Fresh Yakisoba Noodles from Donki

Fresh Yakisoba Noodles
I bought fresh yakisoba noodles from Donki SG. This is so far the cheapest yakisoba noodles I am able to find. It bought 3 packets for about $3.90. It comes with 3 sachets of seasoning powder, but I don’t use them as the taste is not to my liking. You can buy fresh or dried yakisoba noodles from the Japanese cooking aisles in supermarkets.

2. Japanese Worcestershire Sauce

Japanese Worcestershire Sauce
I prefer to make my own yakisoba sauce because I can adjust the flavour to my liking. The most important ingredient for making the sauce is Japanese Worcestershire sauce. I bought my bottle or worcestershire sauce (pictured above) from Daiso. After buying it, I read that there is the more famous “Bull Dog” brand but oh well, I already bought mine. I am satisfied with the results of the one I bought, but I may try out the more famous brand when I finished my current bottle.

3. Shabu Shabu (Thinly Sliced) Pork Belly

Thinly Sliced Pork Belly for Yakisoba

I used shabu shabu pork belly which is thin meat slices for hotpot. They cook really fast. Just cut them to short sections before stir-frying.

  1. Your stirfried soba looks really appetizing! Very flavourful yet light and delicious.

  2. I know it’s yakisoba but it should be called yumisoba (not “yucky”) right? :p lol
