Wok fried noodles are known in Japan as yakisoba and they’re wheat noodles that are stir-fried with pork and vegetables and flavored with tangy sauces before being topped with dish flakes, ginger, and mayonnaise.
fuçando fotos antigas aqui no meu cel me deparei com essa perfeição! macarrão de yakisoba (sem ovo) é mais caro mas vale a pena. legumes que usei: acelga, cenoura, repolho roxo e cebolinha cogumelo para dar aquele tcham 
o molho foi apenas shoyu suave! optamos em usar um sem glutamato monossódico. refogue a cenoura primeiro que é a mais dura (só no azeite) depois o cogumelo, repolho e por último acelga e cebolinha. misture com o macarrão já cozido e coloque shoyu
