Fans of authentic Japanese noodles have likely had a taste of yakisoba. This stir-fried dish has a fascinating history that enhances the incentive to order it from your local Japanese restaurant. To satisfy your cravings for both knowledge and noodles, Chef’s Ramen of Honolulu explains everything you need to know about yakisoba in the following guide.

What Is the History of Yakisoba?

If yakisoba reminds you of a similar Chinese dish, you’re not alone. Yakisoba is derived from chow mein, and it has since become a very popular street food in Japan. Although “soba” (buckwheat noodles) is in the name, this dish is made from wheat flour, like ramen.

Food stalls began selling it around the early 20th century, but its boost in popularity came during the 1950s. Because of their reliance on American wheat imports, dishes like yakisoba became a treasured delicacy bought on the black market. Today, yakisoba is still a well-loved street food that fans can enjoy in restaurants, festivals, and in their own homes.

Why Should You Order Yakisoba?

Instant noodles carry a large amount of preservatives, sodium, and fat to give them a long shelf life, making them rather unhealthy. Real yakisoba from a Japanese restaurant holds a lot of nutritional value.

Chef’s Ramen makes their yakisoba from scratch with lots of fresh vegetables, and protein options include chicken, shrimp, and pork. With the Vegetable Fried Noodle option, vegetarians can enjoy these versatile noodles as well. Every dish is guaranteed to contain no MSG. This deliciously satisfying dish is both filling and healthy, so it’s a great choice for anybody from foodies to the health-conscious.
