The first Japanese barbeque that I attended got me fascinated because it was quite different than what we have back home. We grilled a variety of meat, some sea foods and vegetables but what got me surprised was seeing "yakisoba" (fried noodles) being prepared. I didn't know that noodles will go well with barbeque but it did. Usually noodles are sold in packs that are good for two, three or for four people. During that barbeque, I ate a whole pack good for four people and that is how delicious it was.
We had two barbeque grills, one for grilling and one with a barbeque plate on top where we cooked vegetables and yakisoba. The ladies helped preparing the ingredients and the men did the cooking. One of the girls brought three types of yakisoba sauce at the barbeque. One is sweet, one is a bit sour and the last is a bit spicy but they all taste the same. The kids loved the sweet sauce, the sour sauce was popular with the ladies and the spicy sauce were popular among the men.
Yakisoba is a simple but tasty dish. The ingredients are not hard to find and preparation is easy. It can be prepared in minutes by anyone. Here is the recipe for yakisoba.
Yakisoba Recipe
Ingredients:
- One pack of yakisoba (dry noodles)
- 250 grams of beef cut in thin strips
- Cooking oil
- One Carrot
- One Cabbage
- You can also add other vegetables, meat or sea foods of your choice, just cut them into bite size pieces
- Half a cup of water
- Your choice of yakisoba sauce or tonkatsu sauce
- Peeled and crushed ginger (optional)
Preparation:
- Start by peeling the vegetables and cut them into bite size pieces. Wash them properly in water.
- In a frying pan, fry the beef and saute all the vegetables, but do not over cook.
- Add the noodles in the frying pan and add half cup of water
- Water will evaporate, fry it for about four to five minutes or best to test the noodles by eating some.
- Add the yakisoba flavoring that came with the yakisoba package.
- Transfer the yakisoba to a plate, pour yakisoba sauce on top and it is ready to serve.
Some like to sprinkle katsuobushi on top of the yakisoba. Some like adding mayonnaise. Some like to add few drops of lemon and some like it plain.
