Yakisoba 焼きそば

Does this noodle dish looks familiar to you?? It resembles Chinese Fried Noodles (炒面), but the taste is actually quite different 'cos of the sauce used :D Chinese Fried Noodles is more on the salty side which uses more light soy sauce whereas Yakisoba sauce is on the sweeter side :D Another fuss free one dish meal which the kids enjoy alot.

  • Ao-Nori for garnishing

Hi Hi, we prepare the same dish but slightly different ingredients only. I can't get buckwheat soba...I only able to get instant buckwheat ramen only from the organic shop.
