* Yakisoba noodles are available at Asian food stores. Try using Hokkien noodles if they are not available. Japanese Yakisoba noodles are suitable to BBQ. They are ideal for cooking for a crowd, such as on school camps. I have used them for “Japanese Days” at my schools and for fundraising activities.
