Ankake Yakisoba：Crispy Fried Noodles (homemade) with Vegetables and Thick Sauce
あんかけ焼きそば（手打ち）　　

This is what I wanted to make with my first homemade Chinese noodles (previous post).

It’s called “Ankake Yakisoba” in Japanese, but basically it’s “crispy fried noodles with vegetables and thick sauce”.

This was my first time making this dish with homemade noodles, and I absolutely loved it!

Homemade noodles really make a huge difference.

There are two important things about this dish, and one is that you want to make sure that your noodles are fried super crispy so that you can really enjoy the great combination of the crispy noodles and thick sauce, which is the second important thing (the sauce has to have the right thickness, not too thin, but not too thick either!).

YUM!!

I make other types of noodles, like pasta and Udon, and I thought it was time to try Chinese noodles that can be used to make ramen or fried noodles.

I think my general noodle-making skills are getting better, and Chinese noodle making was not too different from other types of noodle making.

The only thing that was tricky was that you have to cut it into thinner strands.

I did my best, but they could be even thinner.

They cooked beautifully!
