Sobameshi is a Japanese noodle fried rice recipe that combines chopped ramen noodles, cooked rice, vegetables, and savory sauce in one pan for a quick 20 minute meal. This dish usually starts by stir frying cabbage, onion, carrot, green onion, or bean sprouts with chopped noodles and rice until everything becomes hot and lightly browned. Pork, chicken, shrimp, egg, or tofu can add protein, while soy sauce, Worcestershire style sauce, oyster sauce, ketchup, sesame oil, or black pepper gives the sobameshi a rich street food flavor. The chopped noodles bring a chewy texture while the rice adds body and absorbs the sauce. The final one pan sobameshi is fast, filling, and easy to serve for lunch or dinner with pickles, mayo, aonori, bonito flakes, or a fried egg on top
