I know he said its "his" way but still... this approach to yakisoba is not as good as it can potentially be. For the sauce, he should have used wasabi as the spicy kick to the dish. Also those noodles are not the right one and the cabbage should be more thicker. Also, he should use worcestershire sauce, like the ones in asian markets.
if you want more simple yakisoba seasning recipe, you can make source only use salt and pepper.
it is simple and delicious.and it is a typical(acturly) japanese or chinese yakisoba seasning.japanese called ' SHIO(salt) YAKISOBA(stir fried noodles) ' .
This looks good, it does, but cabbage should be thicker and that type of noodles doesn't seem to suit yakisoba. it doesn't look fried enough. I get that it's his way, but there is more to cooking than recipes, as he knows, and it would be better for him to work on it a bit more.
I understand that he mentioned in the beginning that there are many varieties to Yakisoba, but being Japanese, I must say.. this looks NOTHING like a yakisoba served in japan. he's using the wrong kinds of noodles, the cabbages are cut too thinly, and the sauce.. !! Oh well, as long as it tastes good, I guess it's ok.
@bigbuddha65 - Being Japanese also, I agree with you. He is totally using the wrong kind of noodles and too much cabbage. I don't like the sauce either - Japanese never use Siracha and Louisiana hot sauce. The Japanese use a type of worcestershire sauce - it has a sweet and sour taste to it. It's true that yakisoba can be cooked with a variety of ingredients but his approach isn't authentic.
It's 3am, I'm watching cooking videos, and I'm getting hungry as shit -_-

O_O Why is the Mirin so dark?
But anyway, I cook a lot of japanese food and prefer a sauce made out of soysauce, oyster sauce and sake.
