There are many kinds of yakisoba. A kind of yakisoba is called sauce yakisoba since it is cooked by stir-frying the ingredients with yakisoba sauce. Another kind is called kata-yakisoba. Noodles are deep-fried and they are crunchy. There is also shio-yakisoba which is a yakisoba seasoned mainly with salt.
It's easy to cook yakisoba at home. You might be able to find packages of yakisoba kits at Asian grocery stores. Usually those kits include small packages of seasoning powder, so you don't need yakisoba sauce. If yakisoba kits aren't available, boil chukamen before frying, and season with yakisoba sauce or tonkatsu sauce and Worcestershire sauce.
