Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz dried yakisoba noodles
- 8 oz plant-based chicken strips
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 0.5 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cups cabbage, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1.5 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
Boil a pot of water and cook the yakisoba noodles according to package instructions, then drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the plant-based chicken strips and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are heated through and slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the onion, carrot, and green bell pepper and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the cabbage and garlic to the skillet and continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the cabbage is tender.
Return the cooked plant-based chicken to the skillet. Add the cooked yakisoba noodles and toss everything to combine.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, mirin, sugar, and sesame oil. Pour the sauce over the noodles and vegetables in the skillet.
Toss everything well to ensure that the sauce coats all the ingredients evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until everything is heated through.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
