Blackstone Teriyaki Steak Yakisoba Recipe
I love easy dinners. Especially these days when the kids are eating here for every meal, always. By dinner time? I’m kind of done feeding kids and the thought of trying to tackle anything fancy or time-consuming is a non-starter.
This was one of the easiest dinners, EVER, and all of the kids loved it.
Even the ones who usually turn their noses up at any kind of vegetable.
The Blackstone is the perfect tool for stir-fry, and especially stir-fry for a crowd. You can feed an army in a short amount of time. It gets blazing hot, and if you make the smart choice and get the big 36″ model you’ll have room to cook all the things, all at once.
Where did yakisoba come from?
Yakisoba was thought to have been invented in China, but it became popular and well-known as easy-to-come-by street food in Japan.
After World War II when the food supply chain in Japan was in trouble, yakisoba was simple, had few ingredients, and was perfectly suited for cooking in the small street food stalls that primarily cooked on a teppan, which is an iron griddle. Sounds familiar, right?
That’s also where the term teppanyaki comes from.
You’ll often find people using teppanyaki and hibachi interchangeably. Even on this site, you’ll see me refer to my fried rice as “hibachi” fried rice. That’s only so the people looking for the recipe can find it, on my part. A hibachi grill is much different than a teppan/griddle, and requires coals or live fire and a grated circular cooking surface. It is much more like a grill than a griddle, in that regard.

Are yakisoba noodles the same as soba noodles?
No! Soba noodles are made from buckwheat, and have a much different color, texture, and flavor from yakisoba.
Yakisoba is made from wheat flour, and you can’t really substitute other noodles in place of these. I’ve seen recipes online that call for spaghetti noodles in place of these, and while that might still make a decent dish – at the end of the day it is going to be a lot different than using true yakisoba noodles.

Where to buy yakisoba noodles
I found my yakisoba noodles at my local fancy grocery store. It has a giant section of foods from other countries and regions, and a whole aisle full of various fresh Asian noodles.
It is my dream aisle, I know.
If you don’t have a local fancy grocery store that sells fresh yakisoba noodles for you, you might have a hard time finding them dried. I couldn’t, anywhere, that wasn’t in a $0.50 quality instant-ramen type of kit. I’d steer clear of those.
The most comparable dry noodle I could find was actually a dried, high-quality ramen noodle on Amazon. Not including it in the recipe since fresh yakisoba noodles are ideal, but if you are really in a pinch this is lightyears better than using spaghetti noodles.

How to make yakisoba on a gas griddle
Yakisoba is a popular dish that the gas griddle is perfect for. It gets hotter than your stove inside, so you can a more authentic wok-like experience right at home.
The process is really easy! For specifics, see the recipe card below, but here’s the general overview.
- PREP everything first and have it within hand’s reach.
- Preheat your griddle to medium-high heat.
- Lay down some oil. Stir fry your vegetables. Set aside.
- Lay down more oil. Stir fry your noodles on one side of the griddle and your steak on the other.
- Mix to combine. Toss the veggies into the mix, and pour the sauce over the top. Turn OFF the griddle and let the residual heat cook the rest of the dish.
- Stir and toss to combine.
- Enjoy!
