Ingredients

• 400 grams Yakisoba noodles (or fresh ramen noodles)
• 200 grams Pork belly or thinly sliced pork
• 100 grams Cabbage
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 small Onion
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 100 grams Bean sprouts
• 100 ml Yakisboba sauce
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 30 grams Pickled ginger (beni shoga), optional
• 1 teaspoon Aonori seaweed, optional

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all your vegetables by slicing the cabbage into thin strips, cutting the carrot into julienne strips, thinly slicing the onion, and slicing the green bell pepper into strips as well.

Step 2

If the yakisoba noodles are not pre-cooked, boil them for 2-3 minutes, then drain and set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add the sliced pork and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the cooked pork from the pan and set it aside.

Step 5

In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the onion slices and stir-fry for 2 minutes until they start becoming translucent.

Step 6

Add the carrots, green bell pepper, and cabbage to the pan. Stir-fry for approximately 3-4 minutes until they are slightly softened but still crisp.

Step 7

Return the pork to the pan, add the yakisoba noodles, and pour the yakisoba sauce over the top.

Step 8

Toss everything together using tongs or a spatula, ensuring the noodles and vegetables are coated well with the sauce. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the noodles to warm through.

Step 9

Add the bean sprouts and cook for another minute, offering a final toss.

Step 10

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from the heat.

Step 11

Serve the yakisoba hot, garnishing with pickled ginger and aonori seaweed if desired.
