Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Yakisoba noodles 2 portions
  • Pork belly slices 80g
  • Garlic 2-3 cloves
  • Perilla leaves 10 leaves

Seasonings

  • Sesame oil 1 tbsp
  • Soy sauce 1 tbsp
  • White sesame oil 1 tbsp plus
  • [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
  • [A] Soy sauce 1.5 tbsp
  • [A] Peanut butter 1 tbsp
  • [A] Water 3 tbsp
  • Sesame oil (for finishing) (to taste)

Steps

  1. In a bowl, place Yakisoba noodles 2 portions, drizzle with 1 tbsp Sesame oil and 1 tbsp Soy sauce, and mix well.
  2. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 2 minutes at 600W.
  3. Crush 2-3 cloves of Garlic by pressing them with the back of a knife.
  4. Boil a small amount of water in a pot, quickly blanch the crushed garlic, and remove from the water. This step prevents the garlic from burning.
  5. Wipe off excess water with a paper towel.
  6. Heat 1 tbsp plus of White sesame oil in a frying pan and sauté the garlic over low heat.
  7. Once the garlic turns a light color and releases its aroma, transfer it to a small dish. The residual heat will continue to cook it to a beautiful golden brown.
  8. In the same frying pan used for the garlic, add the microwaved noodles and cook over medium heat.
  9. Add about 1 tbsp of White sesame oil during cooking, and fry until both sides are nicely browned. Do not stir too much initially; flip when you hear a sizzling sound.
  10. Transfer the fried noodles to a paper towel and loosen them. The mix of slightly charred and non-charred noodles enhances the yakisoba's flavor.
  11. Add 80g of Pork belly slices to the frying pan and cook slowly over low heat. Using thinly sliced pork, like for shabu-shabu, ensures it cooks quickly and remains tender.
  12. Once the pork turns white, return the sautéed garlic to the pan.
  13. Add [A] 1 tbsp Cooking Sake (Rice Wine), [A] 1.5 tbsp Soy sauce, and [A] 1 tbsp Peanut butter, and coat the pork with the sauce.
  14. Add [A] 3 tbsp Water.
  15. Add the fried and loosened noodles to the frying pan and stir-fry until the sauce is well combined with the noodles.
  16. Finally, drizzle with Sesame oil (to taste).
  17. Plate the yakisoba and garnish with 10 Perilla leaves torn by hand. The refreshing aroma of perilla leaves enhances the overall deliciousness.
