On the other hand, instant yakisoba is far more unhealthy than the ones that were made from scratch. Aside from having absolutely zero vitamins, eating too many instant noodles not just yakisoba can pose serious health risks. First of all, the amount of msg used to preserve the noodle are ridiculously high. The calorie content of instant noodles is also double of that from homemade versions, with a majority of the calories coming from fat. This is basically yakisoba stuffed inside a long roll of bread, resembling closely a hotdog bun.
Eating the yakisoba pan is also similar to the way a hotdog bun is eaten. The origin story of how the yakisoba pan came to be is quite uneventful. In the earlier parts of the twentieth century, it was common practice for restaurants to serve a side dish of bread to customers who have ordered yakisoba.
This is completely reminiscent of western practice to eat pasta with a side of garlic bread. It was a common practice in Japan to accompany yakisoba with a side serving of bread for many years.
After all, the bread complimented the rich and savory taste of the yakisoba coming from the oyster sauce and soy sauce. The innovation that was the yakisoba pan came about in , when a restaurant selling yakisoba suggested to their patrons that they combine the two.
The reason behind this suggestion is that it would be far easier to eat the yakisoba with the bread this way, and it was indeed correct. The Japanese loved the idea of the yakisoba pan, that it has become more and more popular through its seventy-year existence. This idea is particularly genius for tourists who want to eat yakisoba from street stalls. Eating noodles while walking is in no way an easy task. However, with the yakisoba pan, eating yakisoba became as easy as eating a hotdog, which is extremely portable.
As promised earlier, this section will provide a guideline on how to make homemade chicken yakisoba that is guaranteed healthy. This recipe, in particular, uses chicken breast parts, which offer protein while having less caloric density. Aside from chicken breast, the recipe also uses garlic, sesame oil a healthier alternative to vegetable oil , onions, garlic, green beans, carrots, cabbage, oyster sauce, and of course, cooked noodles.
The first step in order to prepare this dish would be to start frying the onions and garlic in canola oil until they are cooked. A good indication that the onion and garlic have cooked already is the change in color to a light brown shade. Instead, it is now time to cook the chicken. Cooking the chicken should not take long, depending on the temperature of the stove, it should only take a couple of minutes. Once the color of the meat shows indications that it has already cooked, the meat must be removed from the pan and set aside.
It is important to set it aside first, since cooking the vegetables would require adding water to the pan and this could mess up the texture of the chicken. To cook the vegetables, half a cup of water should be added to the pan. The green beans must be placed on the pan first since they take longer to cook compared to the others. After a few minutes, when the beans are still at a crispy state, the rest of the vegetables can be added.
Once the vegetables have already cooked, the noodles which have been cooked ahead of time can be added along with a half cup of oyster sauce.
More oyster sauce can be used, however, the saltiness, as well as the sodium content of the dish, will be affected if too much is added. The last step would be to return the cooked chicken breast to the pan and stir a couple of minutes before placing the dish into a serving bowl. The finished dish is not just healthy and tasty, it is also more affordable than eating out.
Several changes can be made to the recipe, such as changing the chicken breast to pork, for a less healthy and more hearty dish, and using other spices and condiments such as pepper and ginger. It is a given fact that not everyone has the necessary resources or skills to prepare homemade yakisoba.
This specific need was addressed by Momofuku Ando when he created his massive instant noodle industry. Eating too much cup noodles, as mentioned earlier, can cause serious health risks to anyone. However, eating in between long durations preferably months is not as bad.
There are plenty of brands that offer variations of instant noodles. However, the two big giants in making instant noodles, whose names stand out the most, are Nissin and Maruchan. The first company, Nissin, is the global leader in manufacturing cup noodles. The business was started by the iconic Japanese businessman, Momofuku Ando in Since the establishment of Nissin, they have branched out to several other continents under different subsidiaries or partnerships.
The brand Maruchan in particularly famous in America for their selection of instant ramen, udon, soba, and yakisoba. What are Japanese Yakisoba Noodles? You can travel to a Japanese street fair, stop at a food stall, or even sporting events. Yakisoba Noodles are everywhere! Sometimes it is served in a Hoagie style roll to make it more portable and easier to eat.
Currently one of the most popular foods in Japan, Yakisoba is flavored with a condiment called Yakisoba Sauce, which foundation is Oyster, Worcestershire, and Soy Sauce. In a pinch, use Spaghetti or Fettuccini will work just as well.
Yakisoba translates to fried buckwheat noodles. Part of the reason this dish grew so much in popularity is Japan began to grow its own buckwheat.
I used my Braiser Pan because I wanted to make a one pan dish. You can cook the noodles in a Dutch Oven if you prefer. I used Fettuccini Noodles and cooked them for about 7 minutes, then drained and rinsed in cold water. Set aside.
In the same pan, drizzle a little oil and begin cooking the vegetables until they are crisp tender, starting with the ones that take longer to cook. I did the Carrots first, then added the Brussels Sprouts. Once all the Vegetables are cooked, return the noodles to the pan. I added another Tablespoon or so of Oil here. Continue cooking and stirring, adding Yakisoba Sauce a Tablespoon at a time until the Noodles take on a darker color.
Taste one every once in a while. I made enough for 4 servings and only used a little over half of the Yakisoba Sauce recipe below. They will soak up the Sauce as they go. They can remain soft or a little on the crispy side.
