Ingredients
- 400 g yakisoba noodles (fresh or pre-steamed)
- 250 g protein of choice (chicken, shrimp, tofu, or beef)
- 2 tbsp neutral oil (such as vegetable or canola oil)
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 2 cups green cabbage, shredded
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 2 stalks green onion, sliced
- 100 ml yakisoba sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tbsp pickled ginger (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare all your ingredients. Slice the protein into bite-sized pieces, julienne the carrot, shred the cabbage, and slice the green onions. If using pre-steamed yakisoba noodles, loosen them under warm running water as instructed on the package and set aside.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil. Once hot, add your chosen protein and cook until fully cooked through and lightly browned (about 3-5 minutes). Remove and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the carrots and cabbage, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Step 4
Add the yakisoba noodles to the skillet, tossing to combine with the vegetables.
Step 5
Pour the yakisoba sauce evenly over the noodles and stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to warm and slightly caramelize.
Step 6
Add the cooked protein, bean sprouts, and green onions to the skillet. Stir-fry everything together for another 1-2 minutes until well mixed and heated through.
Step 7
Transfer the yakisoba to serving plates. Garnish with sesame seeds and pickled ginger, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
