Japanese Yakisoba
Savory Japanese stir-fried noodles with pork, cabbage, carrots, and green onions.
Equipment
- Large skillet or wok
- Tongs
- Small mixing bowl
- Chef's knife
Ingredients
Noodles and vegetables
- 14 oz fresh yakisoba noodles or fresh wheat noodles
- 1 tbsp neutral oil
- 8 oz pork shoulder thinly sliced
- 1/2 medium yellow onion thinly sliced
- 2 cups green cabbage thinly sliced
- 1 medium carrot cut into matchsticks
- 2 green onions sliced
Yakisoba sauce
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Make the sauce:
- Whisk the Worcestershire sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and black pepper in a small bowl.
- Separate the noodles. If they are chilled, loosen them in hot water for 30 seconds, then drain well.
Stir-fry:
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until lightly browned.
- Add the onion, cabbage, and carrot. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes, until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Add the noodles and sauce. Toss continuously for 2 to 3 minutes until the noodles are glossy and hot.
- Fold in the green onions and serve immediately.
Notes
- Keep the pan hot and avoid overcrowding so the noodles develop lightly charred edges.
- Taste before adding salt because the sauces are already savory.
