Yakisoba is a popular Japanese dish inspired by Chinese cuisine. The noodles are stir-fried with crunchy vegetables, small pieces of meat, and a sweet and savory sauce. Traditionally prepared with wheat noodles, it's given a gluten-free twist here thanks to buckwheat noodles. In Asia, we often ate soba noodles (100% buckwheat), cold and lightly seasoned. But when you can find them, they're often quite expensive in France. I came across 100% buckwheat spaghetti with Bioccop; they're a little thicker than soba noodles but are still delicious. I cooked them "Yakisoba" style, and the secret is the sauce! This dish is quickly prepared in a wok or large skillet. The cabbage, carrot, bell pepper, and onions add color, vitamins, and flavor. You won't see 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 warm, gluten-free yakisoba is a complete and balanced meal, perfect for a family dinner.
