@helenjp, regarding stir fried ramen/yakisoba - one idiosyncratic variant which is NOT stir fried and which I have made a few times is something called "patan", as shown on episode 2 of Season 3 of the excellent Kodoku no Gurume, which was said to be an in-house dish of this pork-devoted shop (see the 1st link below) in Yokohama (owned and run by Chinese-origin folks). :-)
