Ingredients
- 16 oz yakisoba noodles (or fresh chow mein noodles)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 medium white onion, thinly sliced
- 2 celery stalks, thinly sliced diagonally
- 2 cups shredded green cabbage
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 0.25 tsp ground white pepper (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a pot of water to a boil and briefly cook the yakisoba noodles for 1-2 minutes to loosen them. Drain and set aside. (Skip this step if using fresh chow mein noodles.)
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and ground white pepper (if using). Set the sauce aside.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the surface.
Step 4
Add the sliced onions and celery to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Step 5
Add the shredded cabbage and minced garlic. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes, until the cabbage is slightly wilted.
Step 6
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet or wok. Pour the sauce mixture over the noodles and vegetables.
Step 7
Toss everything together with tongs or a spatula, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated in the sauce and heated through. Cook for 2 additional minutes.
Step 8
Remove from heat and serve hot. Garnish with a drizzle of sesame oil or sliced green onions if desired.
