Our Pork Yakisoba is a classic Japanese stir-fry dish made with noodles, vegetables and pork. The dish is popular throughout Asia and has many variations. The secret to yakisoba is stir-frying the noodles and ingredients with a Japanese-style Worcestershire sauce.

For the Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons sake optional

For the Yakisoba:

- 3 ounces cabbage sliced
- 1 medium carrot cut into thin strips

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 ♥️
