Ingredients

• 12 oz Yakisoba noodles (pre-cooked or steamed)
• 1 medium, julienned Carrot
• 2 cups, chopped Green cabbage
• 1 medium, sliced Red bell pepper
• 1 cup, sliced Mushrooms (shiitake or button)
• 3 stalks, chopped Green onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce (reduced sodium)
• 2 tbsp Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp Oyster sauce (vegetarian or mushroom-based)
• 1 tbsp Sesame oil
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all vegetables: julienne the carrot, chop the cabbage, slice the red bell pepper and mushrooms, and chop the green onions.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, vegetarian oyster sauce, sesame oil, and sugar. Set the sauce aside.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the carrots, cabbage, bell peppers, and mushrooms to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 6

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the pre-cooked yakisoba noodles. If the noodles are clumped together, you can run them under warm water and gently separate them before adding to the pan.

Step 7

Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles and vegetables. Toss everything together with tongs or chopsticks to coat evenly and heat through.

Step 8

Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the noodles are slightly caramelized and well mixed with the vegetables and sauce.

Step 9

Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your Vegetarian Yakisoba!
