Beef Yakisoba is a Japanese dish that can be made up quickly and easily. I make it up once a month and my family and friends love it. As a matter of fact, they always ask for the recipe.
You can use any kind of noodles you like, but yakisoba noodles are the best. Chow mein noodles or ramen noodles can be used too.
I like pickled ginger but it is optional. It does add a nice twist, however. To make the homemade pickled ginger, slice 2 thumb size ginger in julienne. Boil it in water for about 5 minutes. Drain and squeeze all the water. use a kitchen towel to drain well. Add 1/2 tsp of sugar and submerge it in cider vinegar or white vinegar. Drop some red food coloring and leave it overnight. Walla!
In this recipe. any cut of beef can be used, but always, use a good cut as it will add to the dish. Chicken or pork can be used too.
You can also add the seasoning of your choice. Give it a try and let us know what you think.
