Ingredients
- 5 ounces (140 g) Yakisoba Noodles or Ramen Noodles
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) Water
- 2 Tablespoons (30 mL) Soy Sauce
- 3 Tablespoons (45 mL) Mirin
- 2 teaspoons (10 mL) Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon (15 mL) Canola Oil
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) Green Onions, Chopped
- 1 cup (240 mL) Cabbage, Chopped
- 1 cup (240 mL) Carrots, Chopped
- 3 ounces (90 g) Bean Sprouts
- 3 ounces (90 g) Pressed Tofu
Directions
-
Start by bringing a pot of water to a boil to cook the noodles. Once boiling, add the noodles and cook until just al dente (they should still have a bit of a bite).
-
When the noodles are almost cooked, make the sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the water, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
-
Once the noodles are cooked, drain and run them under cold water to stop the cooking.
-
In a large skillet or wok, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the green onions, cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, and tofu and stir fry for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are beginning to soften.
-
Add the noodles and sauce and stir fry for another 5 minutes, or until the noodles and vegetables are cooked through.
-
Serve the yakisoba hot with a side of steamed rice, if desired. Enjoy!
