Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1.5 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Freshly grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 12 ounces Yakisoba noodles (fresh or steamed)
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 2 cups Shredded cabbage
• 1 Carrot, julienned
• 1 Red bell pepper, sliced thinly
• 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
• 2 Green onions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by whisking together low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and cornstarch. Add water to thin it out slightly.

Step 2

Cook the yakisoba noodles as per the package instructions. If using fresh noodles, rinse them under warm water to separate them.

Step 3

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, sliced red bell pepper, and mushrooms to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes or until tender but still crisp.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium, then add the cooked yakisoba noodles to the skillet. Toss them with the vegetables.

Step 6

Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles and vegetables. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and the dish is heated through.

Step 7

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 8

Serve hot and enjoy your low-sodium Yakisoba!
