Warning this could be addicting! DH and I just wanted something simple for dinner tonight and this was perfect. I doubled the recipe, added 1 lb of ground pork and saved some of the noodle cooking liquid to add a little extra flavor. I had visions of having leftovers for breakfast, - it's gone not a single noodle left. -
Mmm, very good! I halved the recipe and used 3/4 tablespoon cooking oil and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil. I flavoured it with 2 teaspoons soy sauce. This was really simple to make and is good for brown bagging because it tastes good cold as well, although your recipe asks for it to be served hot! I will definitely make this again, and perhaps add a few more veggies. -
We love yakisoba around here and this was just delicious! I sometimes use packages of stir-fry vegetables in my yakisoba so I opted to add a few more to this--carrots and bean sprouts. Thanks for the great recipe, which I will definitely make again! -
Just a tip I've found. You can buy a bag of unprepared cole-slaw in most supermarkets and that is just shredded cabbage and carrots. Makes things a little easier and just as tasty, unless of course, you prefer chunks of cabbage.

My family owns a cheese roll and noodle house in japan. So when it comes to soba, I'm very picky. This recipe wasn't bad at all. It was easy to make. I substitued the ramen for a more traditional style yakisoba noodle. I also opted for fresh ginger (about 1/2 tsp). Then I added more vegitables and chicken. Chicken isn't exactly traditionaly popular in yakisoba. Nonetheless, it was tasted fine. I'd suggest using pork, if you have it on hand.

We love this!! The first time I made it, I followed the directions (used oriental ramen) but didn't have sesame oil so I cut out that ingredient and added toasted sesame seeds. I've made it a few times since then and still only use sesame seeds (instead of the oil) but I now add a lot more cabbage because I'm a big cabbage fan. I just made it again the other night but doubled it (I used one oriental ramen and one chili one)...However, I cut down the oil to one tablespoon to fry the cabbage/onion and then added some of the noodle liquid with the noodles. It wasn't quite as good because it wasn't quite as fried but it was still really tasty and a lot less calories. Thanks so much for the recipe!!
