    Yakisoba means "fried buckwheat" and is a typical Japanese dish. We haven't fried our noodles and our recipe is low in fat. Yakisoba is made with a sauce called tonkatsu or budgoll, but all the brands I've found use nasty ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, so I prefer to make a healthier version at home. It's not the same, but it's good for my body and tastes awesome.

    Tofu is my favorite ingredient to make a vegan version of any dish that requires meat. There are so many other options like seitan, tempeh, textured vegetable protein chunks or fake meats, but tofu is gluten-free, not as processed as some alternatives, pretty affordable and easy to get. Tempeh is also a great choice, but at least here in Spain is quite expensive and hard to find.

    I don't press the tofu before cooking it and I usually sauté it in a skillet with no oil, but you can also bake or fry it if you want. How do you prepare your tofu?

      I like the idea and looks yummy!
      I just wanted to say one thing to the recipe, Chinese noodle is made out of flour and eggs. So those noodles are not vegan unfortunately. I’m not sure if there’s any eggless Chinese noodles exist. I could be wrong though.. so using the spaghetti noodles (like you indicate at the end of the article) would be better.

      Hi Yasuko! Thanks a lot 🙂 We also live in Europe and can find noodles at many supermarkets or Asian stores. Have a nice day!

      Looks good. I make yakisoba with just veggies and it's still good. Key ingredient is sauce. Yakisoba isn't made with buckwheat noodles, although it's called soba. I live in Europe and it's hard to get the noodles for yakisoba. so I use normal spaghetti noodles and cook with baking soda. You can Google why.
