Vegetable Yakisoba
Description
This Vegetable Yakisoba recipe balances a variety of fresh vegetables—shiitake mushrooms, onion, carrot, cabbage, and red bell pepper—with springy yakisoba noodles. The sauce mixture of mirin, ponzu, oyster sauce, and Worcestershire sauce creates a complex umami base with sweet, tart, and tangy layers. Stir-frying the vegetables and noodles together allows the noodles to soak up the flavorful sauce while keeping the vegetables crisp and colorful.
The dish is completed by adding julienned scallions for freshness and garnished optionally with toasted sesame seeds for a nutty contrast. The texture contrast between tender noodles and crunchy vegetable slices gives it an engaging mouthfeel, typical of good yakisoba.
This dish serves well as a vegetarian main or side, especially when made with vegetarian oyster sauce. It is best enjoyed hot immediately after cooking.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons mirin (such as Mizkan Mirin Sweet Cooking Seasoning)
- 2 tablespoons ponzu sauce (such as Mizkan Ponzu Citrus-Seasoned Soy Sauce)
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (or vegetarian oyster sauce)
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (vegan Worcestershire if making vegetarian)
- 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 8 shiitake mushrooms thinly sliced, fresh
- 1 onion peeled and thinly sliced, small
- 1 carrot julienned, medium
- 1 cup green cabbage (julienned)
- 1/2 red bell pepper (julienned)
- 1 pound yakisoba noodles fresh
- 3 scallions (julienned)
- sesame seeds optional garnish, toasted
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the mirin, Ponzu sauce, oyster sauce, and Worcestershire sauce until thoroughly combined.
- Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the wok, along with the shiitake mushrooms. Stir-fry for 2 minutes and then add the onions, carrots, cabbage, and bell pepper.
- Stir-fry for another 2 minutes, and then add the noodles. Pour the sauce mixture over the noodles. The liquid will help break them up.
