It's chilly today here in Melbourne..(Ｔ＿Ｔ）
What season are we in?? Summer??
No way!! It shouldn't be summer!! This is autumn like!!
Anyway..
I heard that someone who read this blog is about to try OKONOMI-YAKI.
I'm so happy to hear that Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ
I hope it goes well (o^-')o
Today's menu is 焼きそば―YAKISOBA―.
Some people might have heard it before.
This is another popular Japanese dish♪
When I worked at a Japanese take away shop, one customer asked me whether we had YAKISOBA or not. Unfortunately we did not.
But you can cook it yourself easily!!
If you buy it at shop, it costs at around $10!!
This is way too expensive for YAKISOBA because you can cook it at reasonable price (*'-')b
'YAKI' means 'pan fried', and 'SOBA' means 'noodle'.
This is kinda similar to OKONOMI-YAKI.
Popular toppings are:
*Meat ― Again, we usually use thin sliced meat. Usually pork.
*Seafood ― Prawns, Squids are popular.
*Cabbage ― This is important. I usually chop roughly, maybe 1-2cm square.
*Carrot― I usually cut it intto ginkgo shape (Refer the picture on left) or half
moon shape(Right photo))

*Bean sprout ―This is expensive in Australia!! Especially if you buy it at a super
market, it is really expensive. A bag of bean sprouts costs $2.00
or so and they are usually not fresh at all!! (It costs only $0.30/bag
in Japan!!)
However if you buy them at a market or an Asian grocery, they are
fresh and cost nothing!! $0.30 for about 300g!!! Not bad at all!!!
*Green pepper― It's not necessary to be GREEN but green color usually goes
well with this dish:)
We usually use all toppings except for seafood (you know why?! :-p).
And of course, we use mince instead of thin sliced meat because thin sliced one is difficult to get here in Australia and expensive..
Any mince is fine. Pork, beef, pork and veal..
About noodle, if you go to an Asian grocery shop, YAKISOBA noodle is available.
But they are EXPENSIVE （￣□￣；）
Again, they cost only $0.30/serving in Japan!!
We usually use HOKKIEN noodle which is available at even a supermarket.
But they are not so cheap!! They might cost up to $3.00 at Coles!!
However, if you buy them at an Asian grocery, they are only $1.20 and fresh and yum!!!
They are really thick compared to real ones, but why not?!
BUT
Please check them out closely!!!
I found some of them had mold even though its expire day was one month ahead!!
Now let's cook!!
Firstly, stir fly meat and vegetable and add salt and pepper for seasonings.
If you have AJI-AHIO-KOSYOU(BASIC), let's use it! It's yum yum!!
When meat and vegetable are almost cooked, toss noodle into them!!
Add some water while you cook noodle otherwise they are too sticky!!
We cooked on BBQ because our pan is too small but of course you can cook over a pan or wok.
All right, it's almost done!
Lastly pour YAKISOBA sauce (As I mentioned in OKONOMI-YAKI blog, you may use TONKATSU sauce, OKONOMIYAKI sauce or Worcester sauce.)
And Tadaan!!!
A bag noodle is big enough for three servings.
We eat it for only two of us easily though:-p
This dish costs only $2.50 in total!! Yai!!
