Ingredients

Yakisoba Sauce

Yakisoba

  • 1 pound yakisoba noodles rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil
  • 1 pound chicken breast boneless skinless, cut into small thin strips
  • 1 small onion sliced
  • 1 medium carrot cut into thin strips
  • 4 shiitake mushrooms sliced
  • ½ small cabbage cut into bite size pieces
  • 2 green onions cut into 1 inch strips

Instructions

  • Make the sauce: In a bowl combine all the Yakisoba sauce ingredients together. Set aside.
  • Prep the noodles: Remove the noodles from their package, and place in a colander. Rinse well and drain. While rinsing you will have to separate the noodles with your hands.
  • Stir fry the chicken and veggies: In a large wok or skillet, heat the peanut oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until no longer pink. Add the sliced onion and carrots and cook for another 2 minutes until the onion softens. Add the mushrooms, cabbage and green onions. Toss everything together and cook for another minute.
  • Finish the dish: Add the Yakisoba noodles to the wok then pour the sauce over everything. Toss everything together using tongs. Cook for another 2 minutes until the noodles heat through.
  • Serve: Serve immediately with sriracha sauce if preferred.

Notes

  1. Substitute the chicken with beef, pork, pork belly, or seafood such as calamari or shrimp.
  2. We used pre-cooked yakisoba noodles but you can use fresh or dry noodles, or ramen as well.
  3. Use a big wok or a griddle to cook everything. Typically a nice char on the veggies is what you're going for, because this will add great flavors.
  4. Make sure to rinse and loosen up the noodles first before adding to your stir fry, otherwise they will break while cooking.
  5. Stored in an airtight container, yakisoba will last in the fridge for 1-2 days.
