There are many Japanese cartoons that show the country's traditional cuisine with delicious images that encourage anyone to try traditional Japanese food. However, not everyone has the opportunity to visit Japan or go to a Japanese restaurant. In these cases, the only solution is to make the food with your own hands.
Some people think that preparing international cuisine requires years of experience in the kitchen. However, this is a misconception. Anyone can create their own Yakisoba, and you don't need to be a great cook.

What to do:
Step by step:
1) We'll start with the sauce. Cut the garlic and ginger into very small slices, then add the oil to the pan and carefully add the garlic and ginger. Add the remaining sauce ingredients and stir until everything is well combined.
2) Now, continue stirring over low heat and when it is thick, turn off the oven and wait for the next step.
3) Next, it's the vegetables part. Wash the vegetables well and then start cutting them into thin, noodle-like shapes. Now, use a pot of hot water and bring to a boil.
4) Then, pour some cold water into another pot and add some ice cubes. When the hot water is boiling, add the vegetables for a maximum of 3 minutes.
5) Then drain the vegetables from the hot water and place them in the container of ice water, adding more ice if necessary.
6) Now it's time to cook and fry the noodles. Pour plenty of water into a pot and add salt and oil. Once the water is boiling, add the noodles. Let the noodles cook for 4 minutes. Afterward, rinse the noodles to stop the cooking process and remove excess starch.
7) Now, add 3 tablespoons of oil to a frying pan and add the pasta, stirring constantly. Tip: Use a wooden spoon to stir the pasta.
8) Let it fry until it becomes crispy.
9) Now it's time to prepare the meat. Add oil to the pan and start frying the meat and chicken. Once ready, add the noodles and vegetables to the meat and chicken and cook for 3 minutes.
10) Finally, add the sauce and that's it, Yakisoba is on the table.
