STIR-FRIED NOODLES WITH PORK, CABBAGE, AND GINGER (YAKISOBA)



Stir-Fried Noodles With Pork, Cabbage, and Ginger (Yakisoba) image

The most popular person at any Japanese street festival is the yakisoba guy. Standing at a small cart with a hot griddle, he wears a twisted hair band and holds two giant spatulas, one in each hand. With great energy and fanfare he stir-fries a heap of vegetables and pork with chukasoba noodles-the yellow, springy Chinese-style wheat noodles more commonly known as ramen. He finishes with a glug of the special bottled sauce that tastes like a spicier version of tonkatsu sauce, and customers walk toward him like zombies. At home, however, the dish is best cooked one portion at a time.

Yield Serves 1

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 ounces pork belly, thinly sliced, then cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1/2 cup thinly sliced yellow onion
1/4 cup 2-inch-long matchsticks peeled carrot
1 cup roughly chopped (about 2 by 3/4-inch pieces) loosely packed white cabbage
1 (5 1/2-ounce) package yakisoba noodles (a heaping cup)
2 tablespoons jarred yakisoba sauce, preferably the Otafuku brand
1 tablespoon shredded beni shoga (red pickled ginger)
1 heaping tablespoon bonito flakes
1/2 teaspoon aonori (powdered seaweed) or finely chopped nori seaweed sheets

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium-wide nonstick or cast-iron skillet over high heat until the oil shimmers. Add the pork belly, onion, and carrot and cook, stirring frequently, for about 30 seconds. Add the cabbage and cook, stirring, until it wilts slightly and the onion is lightly browned at the edges, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the noodles and cook, tossing with tongs, until the noodles are heated through, about 3 minutes. As you toss, gently separate the strands. (If the noodles don't separate easily, add a splash of water to the pan.) Add the sauce and continue to cook, tossing, until thoroughly coated, about 1 minute. Season with more sauce to taste, toss well, and transfer to a bowl. Top with the beni shoga, bonito flakes, and aonori. Eat right away.

VEGETABLE YAKISOBA



Vegetable Yakisoba image

Yakisoba is a Japanese stir-fried noodle dish with a rich Worcestershire-flavored sauce. This veggie-packed version combines carrots, bell peppers, mushrooms and kale for a fun mix of textures and flavors. The key in this dish is to sauté the yakisoba noodles first, creating a dryer, firmer noodle that won't fall apart in the sauce. (Fresh ramen noodles would also work well here.) The tangy-sweet sauce consists mainly of pantry condiments and can be made the day before. Leftovers can be enjoyed the traditional street food way: reheated and served in buttered hot dog buns topped with Japanese mayo and pickled ginger.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 pound frozen presteamed yakisoba noodles, thawed
3 tablespoons neutral oil, such as safflower or canola
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into matchsticks
1 large red bell pepper, stemmed, cored and thinly sliced
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced
8 ounces baby kale
1 cup thinly sliced scallions
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon neutral oil, such as safflower or canola
1 tablespoon ketchup
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Make the yakisoba: Place yakisoba noodles in a colander and rinse under room-temperature water. Using your hands, gently loosen and separate noodles. Drain well.
  • In a 12-inch high-sided nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high. Add noodles and spread in an even layer; cook undisturbed until golden and charred in spots, 3 minutes. Stir noodles once, then cook undisturbed until golden and charred in spots on the other side, 2 minutes longer. Transfer to a large plate.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a small bowl combine all of the ingredients and mix well.
  • To the skillet over medium, add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, onion, carrot and bell pepper, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and charred in spots, 5 minutes. Stir in garlic until well combined, then add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and light golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in kale in batches until wilted. Add the noodles, sauce and all but 1/4 cup of the scallions, and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is absorbed, about 3 minutes. (Noodles should be nicely coated in the sauce but not soupy.) Season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide yakisoba among 4 plates and garnish with the remaining scallions. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • For authentic yakisoba noodles, look for ones labeled "chukamen" or "soba." These noodles are thicker and chewier than typical ramen noodles.
  • If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or Dutch oven instead. Just make sure the pan is large enough to accommodate all of the ingredients.
  • To get the best flavor, use a combination of light and dark soy sauce. Dark soy sauce has a richer, more molasses-like flavor than light soy sauce.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the yakisoba, such as carrots, bell peppers, or snap peas.
  • Yakisoba is a great dish to serve with a side of pickled ginger or kimchi.

Conclusion:

Yakisoba with pork and cabbage is a delicious and easy-to-make Japanese noodle dish. It's perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a casual weekend lunch. The combination of chewy noodles, savory pork, and crisp cabbage is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new noodle recipe to try, give yakisoba a try. You won't be disappointed.
