Notes

  • Researched using JapaneseCooking101, Just One Cookbook, Seonkyoung Longest. Recipe reviewed by Japanese reader, Kengai Wilberding.
  • Copyright The Foreign Fork. For educational or personal use only. 
  • Vegetable oil: You could also use sesame oil
  • Garlic: Always use fresh for the best taste!
  • Thinly Sliced Ribeye Steak: You can also use pork belly or another cut of beef like flank steak, strip steak, flatiron steak, or top sirloin. The ribeye will be the most tender.
  • Already-Cooked Yakisoba Noodles: Any stir-fried noodles will work in a pinch. You could substitute udon noodles, rice noodles, Chinese-style noodles, or fried buckwheat noodles. For the most authentic beef yakisoba, search for yakisoba noodles at your local Asian grocery store. This kind of noodle is usually in the freezer section. I do not recommend using Italian noodles like spaghetti noodles.
  • Yakisoba Sauce: You can buy Yakisoba Sauce online or make it yourself at home! It is a combination of Worcestershire sauce, oyster sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, and sugar.
  • Beni Shoga Pickled Red Ginger Root: For serving. I buy this at my local Asian grocery store.
  • Aonori (Dried green seaweed): I couldn’t find this at my local Asian market, so I just crumbled up some Nori sheets for the same effect.
  • You can purchase Yakisoba Sauce or make your own. It’s easy to put together.
  • If you cannot find yakisoba noodles, you can substitute high-quality ramen noodles.
  • Feel free to add any vegetables you want into this dish. It's delicious with shiitake mushrooms, red bell pepper, snow peas, and more. You can even find packages of Asian stir-fried vegetables in the frozen food section of your local grocery store that would work perfectly.
  • Yakisoba isn't considered a healthy food but it can be as healthy as you want when you add piles of veggies.
