Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil soba in salted water until just al dente, about 4 minutes. Drain well.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add pork and cook, breaking into small pieces, until no pink remains, ~5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add minced garlic to the pork. Stir constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. Step 4

    Add cooked soba, soy sauce, and chili oil to the skillet. Toss vigorously for 2 minutes until noodles are golden and crispy in spots.

  5. Step 5

    Divide noodles between two bowls. Top each with one raw egg yolk.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately. Mix the yolk into hot noodles at the table.
