Sauce
- 2 tsp sugar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 4 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Vegetables
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large carrot
- 1/2 bunch green onions
- 1/2 small cabbage head
- 1/2 large yellow onion
Protein
Others
- 1 tbsp oil (avocado or olive oil)
- 16 oz yakisoba noodles
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the sugar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well until all ingredients are fully mixed. Set the sauce aside while you prepare the rest.
- Prepare the vegetables: Wash and chop the red bell pepper, carrot, green onions, cabbage, and yellow onion to your preferred size. This allows even cooking and easy eating.
- Preheat and cook noodles: If your yakisoba noodles require preheating or cooking according to the package instructions, do so now. Drain and set aside once ready.
- Sauté vegetables: Heat a large pan or skillet over high heat with a small amount of oil. Cook each vegetable separately for a few minutes until they develop a golden color while still retaining some crunch. Remove each vegetable and set aside.
- Cook the chicken: In the same oiled skillet or pan, add the boneless chicken pieces and cook on medium-high heat until all sides turn golden brown and the chicken is fully cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Combine veggies and sauce: Add the sautéed vegetables back into the pan with the cooked chicken. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and stir well to coat evenly.
- Add the noodles: Incorporate the cooked yakisoba noodles into the pan with the chicken, vegetables, and sauce. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the flavors and heat through.
- Serve: Once everything is hot and combined, transfer the yakisoba to plates and serve immediately for a delicious meal.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken with tofu or shrimp for different protein options.
- Adjust the sauce quantities to taste if you prefer a sweeter or tangier flavor.
- For extra heat, add a pinch of chili flakes or drizzle with sriracha before serving.
- Using a large pan or wok helps to cook ingredients evenly and prevents overcrowding.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated on the stovetop or microwave.
