Yakisoba is a classic Japanese noodle dish paired with a salty, sweet and sour sauce. This dish is made in one-pot, this recipe is so easy to make
for any weeknight or weekend dinner. Yakisoba noodles stir fry have become quite the staple in our home, we make it once a week, Wednesday nights are usually our noodle nights.
What is Yakisoba?
Yakisoba noodles look similar to ramen noodles, but they are slightly different. They are made of wheat and best when stir-fried. You can find them at any Asian Supermarket at a very low price - and while you're there pick up the rest of your ingredients for this stir fry.
Here's what you need:
Cabbage - green cabbage is the best in this recipe.
Carrots - you can add different color carrots
Green Bell Peppers - you can also use red or yellow bell peppers.
Broccoli - add great fiber to the dish
Green Onions - if you don’t have any on hand, you can skip it.
Bean Sprouts - an excellent source of antioxidants, but if you don't have them, you can skip it
Yakisoba Noodles – sold in most Asian grocery stores fridge section
Large Wok - great to use if you have one, if not use a large skillet
Yakisoba Sauce Ingredients
Sugar – sugar will give you the best flavors in this dish.
Soy Sauce – low sodium soy sauce will make the best option
Stir Fry Sauce - check ingredients to make sure it's vegan (I used Kikkoman brand)

1 large carrot
1/2 bunch of green onions
1/2 small cabbage head
1/2 large yellow onion

16 oz yakisoba noodles
2 tsp sugar
2 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 cup of stir -fry sauce (if more is needed you can add more sauce)
