Ingredients

• 400 grams Fresh ramen noodles
• 6 slices Bacon
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 200 grams Cabbage
• 1 small Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Tomato ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 2 stalks Scallions (green onions)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the vegetables: Peel the carrot and cut it into matchsticks. Thinly slice the green bell pepper and cabbage. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 2

Slice the scallions into thin rounds. Set aside the white and green parts separately.

Step 3

Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon, crumble it into bite-sized pieces, and set aside. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat in the skillet and discard the rest.

Step 4

In the same skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, and the white parts of the scallions, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the carrot, bell pepper, and cabbage to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.

Step 6

While the vegetables cook, mix the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, tomato ketchup, honey, and ground black pepper in a small bowl to create the yakisoba sauce.

Step 7

Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions (usually 2-3 minutes). Drain the noodles and set aside.

Step 8

Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the yakisoba sauce over the noodles and toss everything together until well-coated and heated through, about 2 minutes.

Step 9

Stir in the crumbled bacon pieces and toss to combine.

Step 10

Garnish with the green parts of the scallions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
