Yakisoba
Yakisoba is steamed wheat noodles stir-fried on a hot plate with cabbage, bean sprouts, and thin pork, coated in a sweet-tangy brown sauce and topped with pickled ginger, seaweed powder, and often mayonnaise. Despite 'soba' in the name it contains no buckwheat. It is festival and home food, not restaurant fare, and the version served inside a split bread roll (yakisoba-pan) genuinely exists and is popular.
