Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

salt
10 -12 ounces fresh Chinese egg noodles
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons peanut oil
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
2 one chicken breasts or 1 (16 ounce) package tofu, thinly sliced
1 small head napa cabbage (about 4 cups) or 1 small savoy cabbage, shredded (about 4 cups)
2 carrots, shredded
2 tablespoons ketchup
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons mirin or 2 tablespoons a bit sugar
3 drops hot sauce (recommended ( Tabasco)
1 bunch scallion, chopped, white parts only

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil, salt it, and add noodles. Cook until just done, about 3 minutes. Drain in a colander and run under cold water. Toss noodles with sesame oil to keep them from sticking together, and set aside.
  • Put peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add ginger and cook, stirring, until just fragrant, about 1 minute. Add protein and cook until no longer pink and is starting to brown around the edges.
  • Add cabbage and carrots to skillet and stir; sprinkle with salt. Continue to cook until vegetables soften, adding a bit of water, as needed to keep them from sticking.
  • Meanwhile, stir together in a small bowl ketchup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, mirin, and hot sauce. When vegetables are soft and any liquid has evaporated, add noodles and sauce to skillet. Toss to coat everything well and cook until noodles are warmed through. Serve, topped with chopped scallions.

YAKISOBA



Yakisoba image

Sponsored by Lea & Perrins®. Yakisoba loosely translates to grilled noodles, but you're not expected to place noodles on the grill. Traditionally, an iron pan is placed over the grill and noodles are cooked on them. The dish's roots are from Chinese lo mein, but with a Japanese flavor twist and a fusion of flavor from Worcestershire sauce. It's a Japanese street food favorite that will quickly become a weeknight favorite in your home.

1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, such as Lea & Perrins® Worcestershire Sauce
4 teaspoons ketchup
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
One 16- to 18-ounce package cooked yakisoba noodles (see Cook's Note)

  • Shredded pickled red ginger (beni shoga or kizami beni shoga; see Cook's Note)
  • For the yakisoba sauce: Whisk together the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, sugar and soy sauce in a small bowl and reserve.
  • For the yakisoba: Place the noodles in a bowl, add about 1 teaspoon of the oil and stir to separate.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a skillet over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the pork belly and sear on all sides, about 3 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms, onion and carrot and cook until tender but not cooked all the way, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cabbage and cook until almost tender, about 1 minute. Stir in the scallions and cook until slightly softened, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle in some pepper.
