# Sauce yakisoba

Cook the local flavors once more　/　Kamogawa, Chiba

A staple of summer festival stalls. I stir-fried squid and cabbage, added the noodles and tossed everything in the sauce, then finished with red pickled ginger and aonori.

## Ingredients

- Yakisoba noodles
- Squid
- Cabbage
- Yakisoba sauce
- Red pickled ginger
- Aonori seaweed flakes

## How I made it

1. Stir-fry the squid and cabbage in a frying pan
2. Add the noodles, loosen them and toss in the sauce
3. Plate and top with red pickled ginger and aonori

## This moment in the journey: The festival-stall dinner

I brought a small charcoal grill out onto the veranda for seafood skewers, too: octopus and squid threaded on sticks, sizzling over the mesh. I came to understand how important the seafood skewers at the stalls are only after becoming an adult who drinks beer.

Yakisoba on a black plate, topped with red pickled ginger and aonori, the skewers beside it and a well-chilled can: the festival-stall dinner was ready. The smell of the sauce whets the appetite. Stuff your mouth with piping hot yakisoba and wash it down with an ice-cold drink (tonight, a non-alcoholic beer). Summer vacation is the best, even when you grow up.
