About this dish

A split hot dog bun, buttered and toasted on the inside, gets packed with saucy stir-fried noodles: carbs inside carbs, a Japanese street snack.

The cabbage, onion, and carrot come off the heat before they wilt, leaving some crunch between the soft bread and the glossy noodles. A shake of dried parsley adds color and a light herbal note against the sweet-salty sauce.

Instructions

6 steps

1

Thinly slice 90 g cabbage, 50 g onion, and 30 g carrot so they cook quickly.

Loosen 220 g yakisoba noodles briefly in hot water, then drain well so they separate in the pan.
2

Heat the pan until very hot, add 1 tablespoon cooking oil, and stir-fry the vegetables over high heat for 2 minutes.

Stop while they still look bright and slightly crisp, before they soften too much.
3

Add the drained noodles and lift them with chopsticks or tongs while stir-frying for 2 more minutes.

If the noodles start sticking to the bottom, lower the heat slightly instead of adding extra sauce.
4

Pour in 2.5 tablespoons yakisoba sauce and 1 teaspoon soy sauce, then toss quickly so the hot pan coats the noodles evenly.

Turn off the heat as soon as the noodles look glossy.
5

Split 2 hot dog buns lengthwise and spread 10 g butter across the cut sides.

Toast them in a pan or toaster for about 1 minute so the inside forms a light barrier against the sauced noodles.
6

Fill the warm buns generously with the hot stir-fried noodles, but do not press them down hard or the bread may tear.

Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon dried parsley and serve right away while the texture holds.
