The Inside Scoop
Did you know?
It's noodles. In bread. This shouldn't work, but it's been a Japanese school lunch staple since originating in 1950s Tokyo. You haven't truly lived until you've had yakisoba in a bun. The ultimate 'don't knock it till you try it' food.
How to eat
- 1It's a double-carb masterpiece, meaning it's surprisingly filling. Come with an appetite.
- 2The bright red strips on top are pickled ginger (beni shoga). Eat them together with the noodles—the acidity perfectly cuts through the rich sauce.
- 3If the noodles are trying to escape the bun, just gently push them back in. It's a messy but wonderful experience.
