In a separate development:
I've been obsessed with mastering yakisoba. I've been eating yakisoba either for dinner/lunch the past three days. I think it's one of the perfect, timeless meals ever crafted - it's got carbs, protein, and lots of veggies. And it's quick to cook. The whole prep and cooking takes me only about 15 min or so.
How to make Yakisoba in five easy steps:
1. Boil soba in water until tender, about 5 minutes.
2. While soba is cooking, saute onions, garlic, choice of protein (kani, chicken, pork, sliced thinly) until cooked.
3. Add veggies of choice.
4. Add noodles.
5. Add enough yakisoba sauce to coat noodles. (You can make your own, but the sauce from the Japanese grocery store is more delicious.)
Now, I'm not saying that my yakisoba method is The Method. There's a lot of ways to cook yakisoba, according to the Interweb, but this is the one that works for me.
Happy cooking!
