yakisoba
/ˌjakɪˈsəʊbə
/noun [mass noun]
A Japanese dish of fried noodles, vegetables, and meat, served with a thick, sweetish sauce: dishes such as red curry soup, yakisoba, and pad thai taste fresh and honest...
- My mouth waters at the memory of the yakisoba.
- Much to my surprise, about ten minutes later that very same person came walking up to me with a big steaming plate of fresh yakisoba.
- The yakisoba really hit the spot since I hadn't planned on hiking up a large mountain and I didn't bring any lunch with me.
Origin
Japanese, from yaki 'grilling, frying' + soba (here referring to wheat rather than buckwheat noodles, originally as part of a longer Japanese term).
