Ingredients

16 ounces yakisoba noodles

For the Sauce:

3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
2 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons sake optional
¼ teaspoon white pepper
2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

For the Yakisoba:

3 slices bacon cut into 1/4 inch pieces
4 ounces pork cut into small pieces
1 medium onion sliced
2 cloves garlic grated or minced
3 ounces cabbage sliced
1 medium carrot cut into thin strips
½ red bell pepper thinly sliced
3 scallions sliced lengthwise
Pickled ginger and snipped chives for garnish

Instructions

Cook the Noodles:

Boil the noodles according to package instructions, drain and rinse with cold water. Spread the noodles on a double thickness of paper towels and blot with a handful of paper towels. Return the noodles to the cooking pot and toss with oil. Cover with lid and reserve.

Make the Sauce:

In a small dish, whisk together the Worcestershire sauce, oyster sauce, ketchup, honey, sake (if using) and white pepper. Set aside.

Stir-Fry the Yakisoba:

In a large heavy-bottomed fry pan set over medium heat add the bacon bits. Fry until the bacon begins to crisp, add the pork and cook 1-2 minutes.
Add the onions, garlic, cabbage, carrots and red bell pepper and stir-fry until the vegetables begin to wilt.
Give the pot of noodles a stir to loosen them up and add them to the vegetables.
Drizzle the sauce over the noodles and toss with the vegetables until the noodles are heated and coated with the sauce.
Divide equally into 4 serving dishes and garnish with the pickled ginger and snipped chives. Serve immediately

Notes

Choose your favorite Asian noodles for this recipe. I like the Fortune Yaki-Soba noodles as it has 3 packs of 5.3 oz. each. Because... I can use just one pack of noodles to make a small stir fry if needed. In our recipe we used all three package for a family size dinner. Each package has a small envelope of sauce mix....toss it and make your own from our recipe. It tastes much better ♥️
