Yakissoba Portuguesa

Portuguese yakisoba arrived via the Brazilian diaspora, which had already adopted and transformed the Japanese dish. In Portugal, it gained a new layer with the incorporation of chouriço, roasted peppers, and olive oil.

In multicultural neighbourhoods of Lisbon and Porto, Portuguese yakisoba is a common presence in restaurants and takeaways. It is a living testament to how Portuguese cuisine continues to absorb and reinvent global influences.
