(*Most yakisoba noodles are steamed and boiled. With Fujinomiya yakisoba noodles, after steaming, the noodles are flash cooled and coated with oil so they retain less moisture and have a chewier texture than steamed and boiled noodles.
** Nikukasu is meat that is leftover after the lard has been rendered out and is then fried. )
