Yakisoba Recipes

Steps:

• Shredded pickled red ginger (beni shoga or kizami beni shoga; see Cook's Note)
• For the yakisoba sauce: Whisk together the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, sugar and soy sauce in a small bowl and reserve.
• For the yakisoba: Place the noodles in a bowl, add about 1 teaspoon of the oil and stir to separate.
• Heat the remaining oil in a skillet over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the pork belly and sear on all sides, about 3 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms, onion and carrot and cook until tender but not cooked all the way, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cabbage and cook until almost tender, about 1 minute. Stir in the scallions and cook until slightly softened, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle in some pepper.
• Add the noodles to the skillet and lower the heat to medium. Stir to warm and combine the noodles with the vegetables in the skillet for about 30 seconds. Stir in the yakisoba sauce and cook until the sauce is absorbed and distributed, about 1 minute. Plate up and top with the dried green seaweed and pickled red ginger if using.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, rice wine, and sugar, stirring to dissolve.
• Cook noodles in boiling water about 8 minutes, or until tender.
• Drain noodles and rinse under cold water.
• In a large deep skillet or wok, cook onion in oil for about 3 minutes.
• Add the cabbage, carrot and ginger and cook until cabbage is softened, about 3-5 minutes.
• Add the pork and cook for 2 minutes more.
• Cover the mixture with noodles and pour the sauce over all.
• Cover and cook for 3-5 minutes, the remove the lid and toss the mixture together until it is well combined.
• Place on a serving platter and garnish with chopped scallions, if desired.

Steps:

• Make the yakisoba: Place yakisoba noodles in a colander and rinse under room-temperature water. Using your hands, gently loosen and separate noodles. Drain well.
• In a 12-inch high-sided nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high. Add noodles and spread in an even layer; cook undisturbed until golden and charred in spots, 3 minutes. Stir noodles once, then cook undisturbed until golden and charred in spots on the other side, 2 minutes longer. Transfer to a large plate.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a small bowl combine all of the ingredients and mix well.
• To the skillet over medium, add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, onion, carrot and bell pepper, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and charred in spots, 5 minutes. Stir in garlic until well combined, then add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and light golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in kale in batches until wilted. Add the noodles, sauce and all but 1/4 cup of the scallions, and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is absorbed, about 3 minutes. (Noodles should be nicely coated in the sauce but not soupy.) Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide yakisoba among 4 plates and garnish with the remaining scallions. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook soba in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain noodles and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
• Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Add pork and stir-fry with a pinch of salt and pepper, about 5 minutes. Transfer meat to a plate, reserving oil in wok. Add carrots, onion, ginger, and garlic to the wok and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add cabbage to the wok and stir-fry briefly, about 1 minute. Add drained soba noodles. Pour in 1/2 the yakisoba sauce and stir-fry until noodles and vegetables are covered with sauce, about 3 minutes. Return pork to the wok. Add additional sauce as desired. Remove from heat.
• Garnish yakisoba with kizami nori and a small pile of beni shoga just before serving.

Steps:

• In a large skillet combine sesame oil, canola oil and chili paste; stir-fry 30 seconds. Add garlic and stir fry an additional 30 seconds. Add chicken and 1/4 cup of the soy sauce and stir fry until chicken is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Remove mixture from pan, set aside, and keep warm.
• In the emptied pan combine the onion, cabbage, and carrots. Stir-fry until cabbage begins to wilt, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the remaining soy sauce, cooked noodles, and the chicken mixture to pan and mix to blend. Serve and enjoy!

Steps:

• Cut semi-frozen steak into thin bite size pieces and stir-fry over medium heat until thoroughly browned, heat 2 quarts water to rapid boil while stir-frying meat.
• Add 1 to 2 seasoning packets of seasoning mix from noodles to steak.
• Add Ramen noodles to water and boil 3 minutes.
• While cooking noodles, add vegetables and soy sauce to taste to steak and heat thoroughly.
• When noodles are done, drain and add to steak and vegetable mixture.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• Note: Chicken, pork or shrimp can be substituted for steak.
