Yakisoba, despite the name (“soba”), are wheat noodles and a beloved classic of Japanese summer festivals and street stalls. They emerged in the 20th century.
The noodles are fried with pork and vegetables in a sweet-savoury yakisoba sauce and garnished with bonito flakes, aonori and pickled ginger.
