Ingredients

Yakisoba Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Brown sugar packed

Yakisoba

  • 1 pound Chicken breast boneless and skinless, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 pound Yakisoba noodles rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon Peanut oil
  • 1 small Onion thinly sliced
  • 1 medium Carrot julienned
  • 4 Shiitake mushrooms sliced
  • ½ small Cabbage chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 Green onions cut into 1-inch strips

Instructions

  • Begin by making the sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together Worcestershire sauce, oyster sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, and brown sugar until smooth and fully combined. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
  • Prepare the noodles by removing them from the packaging and placing them in a colander. Rinse thoroughly under cold water while gently separating the strands with your fingers to loosen and untangle. Drain well and set aside.
  • Heat the peanut oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced chicken breast and stir-fry until the pieces are cooked through and no longer pink, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the sliced onion and julienned carrots to the pan. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes until the onion turns slightly translucent and the carrots begin to soften. Stir in the shiitake mushrooms, cabbage, and green onions. Toss everything together and continue to cook for another minute to blend the textures and flavors.
  • Add the prepared yakisoba noodles to the wok. Pour the sauce mixture over the top, then toss everything together using tongs or chopsticks, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated and the vegetables and chicken are well distributed.
  • Continue to stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes until the noodles are heated through and everything is piping hot.
  • Serve immediately, with sriracha or your favorite chili sauce on the side if desired.

Notes

  • Pre-cooked yakisoba noodles were used in this recipe, but fresh, dried, or even ramen noodles can be great alternatives.
  • Use a large wok or griddle for cooking to allow space and achieve a good char on the vegetables, which adds depth of flavor.
  • Rinse and gently separate the noodles before cooking to prevent them from clumping or breaking during the stir-fry.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator; they’ll stay fresh for up to 1–2 days.
