Yakisoba is a popular Japanese dish inspired by Chinese cuisine. Noodles are stir-fried with crisp vegetables, small pieces of meat, and a sweet and savory sauce. Traditionally made with wheat noodles, this version is gluten-free thanks to buckwheat noodles. In Asia, we often ate soba noodles (100% buckwheat), cold and simply seasoned. But when you can find them in France, they're often quite expensive. I came across some 100% buckwheat spaghetti at Biocoop; they're a bit thicker than soba noodles but still delicious. I cooked them "Yakisoba-style," and the secret is in the sauce! This dish is quick to prepare in a wok or a large frying pan. The cabbage, carrot, bell pepper, and onions add color, vitamins, and flavor. You won't find cabbage in my recipe (I didn't have any and substituted zucchini), but I'm giving you the traditional recipe. Pork or chicken can be replaced with tofu for a vegetarian version. Served hot, gluten-free yakisoba is a complete and balanced meal, perfect for a family dinner.
