Ingredients
- 1 package of yakisoba noodles (6–8 ounces, dry)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup soy sauce
- ⅓ cup rice vinegar
- 2 cloves of garlic (grated)
- 1 piece of fresh ginger (peeled and grated)
- 2 tablespoons canned pineapple juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ cup shredded purple cabbage
- ½ cup shredded green cabbage
- 1 stalk of bok choy (sliced into ribbons)
- ¼ bell pepper (thinly sliced)
Instructions
-
Cook the yakisoba noodles according to the package directions, then drain and let them cool.
-
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, grated garlic, and ginger. Stir until the brown sugar is completely dissolved, then bring the sauce to a simmer.
-
Create a slurry by whisking together the canned pineapple juice and cornstarch.
-
Add the pineapple juice and cornstarch slurry to the simmering sauce. Bring it back to a boil and let it reduce for 10 minutes.
-
While the sauce is reducing, heat a few tablespoons of oil in a wide pan. Sauté the vegetables until they become tender and slightly caramelized. Then, set them aside.
-
Strain the sauce through a fine mesh strainer to remove the garlic and ginger. Discard the garlic and ginger.
-
Add the cooled noodles to the sautéed vegetables, mixing them together.
-
Pour ¾ of the sauce over the noodles and vegetables. Toss to combine, and taste to adjust the flavor, adding more sauce if needed.
-
Garnish the dish with sliced scallions and crushed peanuts.
Notes
- You can serve these yakisoba noodles either hot or warm, straight from the pan. Cold leftovers can be enjoyed right out of the refrigerator.
- To reheat, place a portion of noodles in a microwave-safe bowl, add a splash of water, and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until heated through.
- Before using bok choy, make sure to wash it thoroughly, as it may have sand or soil between the stalks.
- A “slurry” is a mixture of cornstarch and liquid that dissolves the cornstarch and is used to thicken sauces. The sauce thickens when it boils after adding the slurry.
