What is Omu-Yakisoba/ Omusoba

Omu-yakisoba or omusoba is a popular dish in Japan. Omu means omelet, and Yakisoba is stir fried noodles, one of the classic noodle dishes in Japan. This combination is perfect. I believe not so many households make this for lunch or dinner because it is known as festival or street food. It’s kind of a special occasion meal but you can absolutely enjoy it at home.
