Yakisoba style spaghetti

This is one of my favorite spaghetti style. Yakisoba is the one of Japanese cheap and good noodle dish. Yakisoba often sold in Japanese festival and popular among children and even adult as well. Yakisoba is usually sold in a package including egg noodle and yakisoba sauce/ powder. Yet, it is expensive to buy in Vancouver, and not easy to look for at grocery store in your neighbor as well. So I made Yakisoba with spagetti and it was very delicious so I'm posting the recipe here now=) 


Yakisoba style spaghettii

Ingredients (2 serving) : Spaghetti for 2 serving
                        Your favorite meet (chicken, beef, or pork)
                        Carrots     1/3
                        Cabbage     2 leaves
                        Green onion     2
                        Salt and pepper   
                     ※Yakisoba sauce

※You can buy yakisoba saurce at any asian grocery store such as T&T, H-mart, Fujiya or Konbiniya. Some of organic store such as IGA market place has yaiksoba sauce as well =)
Step 1: cut meat and veggies into 1 inch pieces. I like to cut carrot into long and thin slices. Boil the water in a large pot for cooking pasta. 

Step 2: On heated pan with oil, stir fly meat first and add veggies to cook with medium heat. Add salt and pepper when the veggies are cooked. While you are cooking meat and veggies, cook pasta in a pot.

Step 3: Add pasta and yakisoba sauce into the pan, mix well. Add a bit of oil again to prevent the spaghetti to stick together. 

Step 4: Serve on the plate, and you can top with aonori (japanese dried seaweed) and white sesame.

This recipe is very simple.
Enjoy the japanese taste with your favorite pasta =)
