‘Yakisoba’, Japanese stir-fried noodles, is seasoned with ‘Yakisoba Sauce’, that can be made with Soy Sauce, Worcestershire Sauce and Oyster Sauce.

I use the mixture of Canned Tuna and Japanese Mayonnaise for many dishes such as Sushi, Rice Bowl, Onigiri (Rice Balls), etc. If it is for a rice dish, I definitely add a small amount of Soy Sauce. If it is for a sandwich, there are three things I want to add, and they are …
