Step by step

Method

5 steps

  1. 1

    If the noodles are packed tight, loosen them under warm water and drain really well — wet noodles make the sauce watery. Whisk soy sauce, Worcestershire-style sauce, ketchup, and sugar in a small bowl.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until it shimmers. Stir-fry the pork 2–3 minutes until it's mostly cooked and starting to brown at the edges.

  3. 3

    Add the onion, carrot, and cabbage. Toss 2–3 minutes until the cabbage wilts but still has a little crunch.

  4. 4

    Add the noodles and the sauce. Toss hard over high heat 2–3 minutes until every strand looks coated and you hear a light sizzle — that's the sauce reducing onto the noodles.

  5. 5

    Pile onto plates and finish with aonori and pickled ginger. Eat it hot; yakisoba cools fast.
