Yakisoba translates to grilled (yaki) noodles (soba) and was originally derived Chinese chow mein. In its most basic form, yakisoba is a classic Japanese street food made by stir frying boiled ramen noodles with a sweet and savoury sauce. Since then, there have been tons of variations but this one is the easiest for my always ravenous family.
In Japan, most of the street food versions of yakisoba are mostly noodles with sporadic pieces of cabbage here and there. However, I like to fill my noodles with vegetables. I didn't add meat this time, but if you do decide to add meat, pan fry the meat first and set it aside before cooking your vegetables so it doesn't get over cooked.
