Spicy stir-fried noodles, called yaki soba, are one of many outdoor festival treats in Japan. Neighborhood shrines and temples have frequent Matsuri carnivals, and booths selling masks, toys, trinkets, soft drinks, cotton candy, grilled corn, squid and griddle-fried yaki soba line the entranceways. The recipe given here is a meatier version than most found in Japan, but it should still bring back memories to those who’ve sampled the “real thing.”
