You can make this vegetable yakisoba in just 15 minutes! It’s my go-to on busy days for a quick lunch or an easy dinner, and I’m sure you’ll love how simple it is too!
Prepare Ingredients: Cut onion, napa cabbage, and atsuage into thin strips.
Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, chuno sauce, and sake.
Stir-fry Vegetables: Heat a large pan over medium heat, add the sesame oil, then stir-fry the onion, napa cabbage, and moyashi until tender. Add 1 tablespoon of sauce, stir-fry for another minute, and set aside.
Stir-fry Atsuage: Season the atsuage strips with a little salt, then add them to the same pan and cook until browned on all sides. Add 1 tablespoon of sauce, stir-fry for another minute, and set aside.
Stir-fry Yakisoba Noodles: Place the yakisoba noodles in the pan and gently stir to loosen them as they heat. When they start to brown, add the remaining sauce and stir-fry until evenly coated and heated through.
Combine: Return the stir-fried vegetables and atsuage to the pan. Toss everything together until well combined.
Serve: Serve the yakisoba on a plate, topped with aonori and pickled red ginger.
Notes
Substitute: Find alternative options in 'Recipe Ingredients'.
If the taste is too light, adjust by adding salt, pepper, or more sauce until you achieve the taste you prefer.
If the noodles are difficult to loosen during stir-frying, adding a small amount of water can help soften and separate them more easily.
Cutting the ingredients into thin strips helps them blend well with the noodles, making them easier to eat.
