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.

- 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.
JAPANESE-STYLE YAKISOBA
The great thing about this Japanese-style yakisoba recipe is you can replace the chicken with any other meat or simply use no meat at all. This can make a great main dish or side dish.

YAKISOBA NOODLES WITH A KICK (VEGETARIAN)
We had bought some fresh Yakisoba noodles and my boyfriend sort of threw this recipe together. It turned out really well, especially since we like things rather spicy. I've made this with just the chili-garlic sauce and also with a mix of the chili black bean and black bean garlic sauce. Pick your favorite sauce or a combination that sounds good to you.

Steps:
- In a medium pan, boil 2 cups of water. Add Vegeusa beef strips and cook until tender (approximately 5 minutes). Drain and set aside.
- In a skillet, cook onion and green pepper (optional) in olive oil until slightly tender, then add broccoli and cook until tender. Set aside.
- While your veggie are cooking, prepare the sauce by mixing the minced garlic, sauce combination of your choice, sriracha chili sauce, and water.
- In your skillet or hot wok, add rehydrated beef strips and cook for a minute or two just to brown it a bit, then add your veggie mix, Yakisoba noodles, and sauce and mix well. Add black pepper and sesame oil to taste (I usually just try the cover the top with black pepper and maybe make a small circle with sesame oil. Stir until well mixed. Heat for 5-10 minutes and serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, meat, and noodles will give your yakisoba the best flavor.
- Cook the noodles properly: Yakisoba noodles should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked noodles will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Use a well-seasoned wok or frying pan: A well-seasoned wok or frying pan will help prevent the noodles and vegetables from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned wok or frying pan, you can use a large nonstick skillet.
- Cook the vegetables over high heat: High heat will help the vegetables retain their color and crunch.
- Add the noodles and sauce at the end: Adding the noodles and sauce at the end will help prevent the noodles from overcooking.
- Serve immediately: Yakisoba is best served hot and fresh.
