Chicken Yakisoba

Yakisoba is a Japanese dish — quick stir-fried noodles with chicken or pork. If you take the plunge and make yakisoba at home, you won't regret it. It's genuinely delicious and nice and saucy. Even without a wok, it comes together fast and tastes great. The key is to cook over a really hot pan — that's what guarantees success. A pan that isn't hot enough just won't give you the same result. So here's how to make chicken yakisoba — cook it and enjoy every bite.
