Thank you Tania! Have a safe trip to Japan! How exciting!!

[@andrewjackson7476]

Yakisoba is what I HAVE to eat, when I am dying for a pizza. Let me explain. Yakisoba is SO not filling and it makes you hungry 10min after you eat it. So when I am too full to have a whole large pizza because I had a burger just few hours ago, I just eat Yakisoba. Problem SOLVED! I just wait 15min and I feel hungry again. So hungry that I can eat two large pizzas. I think that all that yakisoba is useful for.

I have used her recipes before to include making the sauces and for a guy who really doesn't care for cooking, I must say that not only are they easy, but they are delicious!!! I was intimidated to cook Japanese food, but no longer am. Thanks for the great recipes!!!

[@justonecookbook]

Hi David! I hear often from my readers that they thought it's too scary to cook Japanese food before because it seems mysterious. LOL. Japanese main ingredients are pretty similar, so once you have them, you can make many dishes. I hope my KZbin channel and blog will help you cook more Japanese food at home (and they taste better than restaurants!) ;)

[@ternyasen]

thank you very much for your recipe! I have cooked Yakisoba using a different recipe, but I had to change few ingredients and I think it came out a bit different from the original recipe. It was really useful to see how you cut carrots and now I know that all the ingredients that I've seen in the other recipe are really classic, so I am inspired to try cooking it again the proper way.

New comment to an old video. When I was in the Navy I was stationed out of Yokosuka. Our berth was pier 6. At the base of the pier was a little joint called Pier 6 Pub. They served yakisoba, fried rice and beer. Whenever we were in port I ate yakisoba and beer every single day for lunch :)

I've been making Yakisoba for years and this is my go-to recipe, making your own sauce is easy and worth it, you can customize it to be better than store bought.

[@mr.macaron2976]

Why does it bother me the fact that she left so much left in those little glass bowls? kkkkkkk

[@debonair2292]

LOL same. My only solace is imagining she added it in off camera to avoid fumbling in the video. XD

[@justonecookbook]

The amount of sauce is the result of "easier to measure" amount. You can adjust the amount of sauce based on the amount of meat/veggies - I don't want everyone to go through not having enough sauce toward the end of cooking. I think I mentioned that in my written recipe (www.justonecookbook.com/yakisoba/).

That's because no one makes it here. Most Japanese restaurants are more a formal place. Yakisoba is what is known as a street food. Kinda like an outdoor little cook stand at a fair where you get your $5.00 heart attack food only much better. I gotta go back to Japan now damn it. I'm hungry again. Thanks. Hahaha.

looking at the name, I was expecting soba noodles : )

[@justonecookbook]

In Japanese, "soba" means thin noodles, like "Chuka Soba" (= ramen noodles). :) And of course buckwheat noodles.

I know this is sort of a late reply, but I don't like ketchup either and I found something that might work just as well for this recipe. Huy Fong foods make a really delicious chili paste, You could use that for a base and use brown sugar instead of regular sugar to mimic the Ketchup. if you can't find that chili paste, Sriracha sauce should work just as well. Hope it helps, and thank you for your service!
