CHICKEN YAKISOBA

Chicken Yakisoba is a very popular Japanese stir fry dish. It’s made with noodles, fresh vegetables and pork or chicken tossed with the rich and delicious yakisoba sauce. The sauce is made with soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic and ginger. If you love my Thai Peanut Noodles or my Easy Chicken Stir Fry, you will love this dish too. It’s very quick to make and full of flavor.

How to make Easy Chicken Yakisoba?

• Start with preparing the vegetables and cutting the chicken into bite size pieces.
• Boil water in a pot for noodles. Once boiling. Turn off the heat, add noodles to pot and set kitchen timer to 3 minutes. Cover the pot and let the noodles cook. Once timer is done, drain noodles in colander.
• Heat up oil in a skillet. Add chicken and cook until done. Remove from pan onto a plate.
• Add more oil to pan. Add sliced pepper and carrots. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, until softened. Add cabbage and mushrooms and cook until softened.
• Add cooked noodles and chicken. Toss together. Add sauce and let everything heat up. Toss well. Serve.

Tips for making the best Chicken Yakisoba:

• if you can’t find yakisoba noodles, use ramen or even spaghetti
• use pre-cooked chicken to cut down prep time
• use coleslaw mix instead of shredding cabbage and slicing carrots
• add sambal oelek or sriracha to add more heat to the sauce

What is Yakisoba Sauce made of?

• soy sauce (I use low-sodium)
• Worcestershire sauce
• brown sugar
• ketchup
• sesame oil
• fresh ginger
• fresh garlic
