Vegan Yakisoba
Serving Size: 6
DESCRIPTION
These savory vegan yakisoba noodles super easy to make, all under 30 minutes. Vegan yakisoba is a plant-based version of traditional yakisoba, which is essentially just stir-fried noodles, veggies, and an umami-rich yet slightly sweet sauce. You can leave this dish as-is or add tofu or tempeh for extra protein.
INGREDIENTS
- 4 cups yakisoba noodles cooked
- 1 tbps avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 whole green onion to garnish
- 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds to garnish
Veggies
- ¼ cup carrots thinly sliced
- ¼ cup snap peas thinly sliced
- ¼ cup shiitake mushrooms thinly sliced
- ¼ cup yellow bell pepper thinly sliced
- ¼ cup red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 cup cilantro (fresh) chopped
Yakisoba Sauce
- 4 tablespoon soy sauce low sodium
- 4 tablespoon maple syrup
- 3 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce vegan
- 3 tablespoon ketchup
- 3 tablespoon mushroom oyster sauce vegan
METHOD
- Cook your noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Then drain and rinse them under cold running water to stop the cooking process and remove excess starch. Set aside.
- To make the yakisoba sauce - Place all the sauce ingredients into a glass or jar. Whisk together until it forms a sauce-like consistency. Set aside
- Heat avocado oil in a pan or wok over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until mushrooms start to soften and turn brown.
- Then start adding the remaining vegetables, starting with carrots, then bell peppers, and snap peas. Stir in the salt and cook vegetables for 4-5 minutes on medium heat.
- Rinse the noodles under cold water again before adding them to the pot. Then add the noodles, yakisoba sauce, and cilantro. Toss everything together.
- Remove from heat, and garnish with chopped green onions, and black sesame seeds before serving.
NOTES
- Pre-Make the Sauce: Preparing the sauce beforehand saves time and effort during cooking. This makes it easy to add the sauce quickly when needed.
- Use a Large Pan: A large pan or wok provides ample space for stir-frying, preventing overcrowding, which can result in a steamed texture.
- Toss Thoroughly: Ensure the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce to maximize the flavor in each bite.
