1

Start by making the Yakisoba sauce: add Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, honey, oyster sauce, and white pepper to a bowl and mix them together.

2

Chop up the thinly sliced pork belly. If you can't find pork belly, you can use bacon but reduce the amount of sauce due to extra salt.

3

Chop up some cabbage, onions, and carrots.

4

Boil the fresh ramen noodles until cooked, then drain and rinse thoroughly in cold water to remove excess starch.

5

Shake the noodles to get rid of excess water, then drizzle on some oil and toss to coat each strand evenly to prevent sticking.

6

Preheat a heavy cast-iron griddle over high heat and add oil and pork belly, using two spatulas to stir-fry and break them up.

7

Once the pork is browned and fat has rendered, add the chopped vegetables and stir-fry until partially cooked.

8

Clear a space on the griddle for the noodles and add them, tossing gently with the vegetables without breaking them up.

9

Drizzle the prepared sauce over the noodles and toss everything together until the noodles start to get some brown crispy bits.

10

Serve the Yakisoba garnished with aonori flakes and beni shoga.
