Yakisoba is normally in Japanese cuisine and translates to “fried noodles.” The noodles are made from wheat flour, similar to ramen noodles. To make this dish, I would compare this closely with fried rice, as both dishes are stir fried and can use similar ingredients. Feel free to add different meats and veggies in your dish. This is what my roommate and I whipped up one day after work.

Yakisoba (serves 2-4)

• 2 packages yakisoba noodles from local asian market (includes sauce packet)
• 3 to 4 carrots, peels and sliced
• 3 chinese style sausages
• 1/2 cabbage sliced
• 1/4 Cup onion chopped
• 1 clove garlic chopped
• broccoli
• salt and pepper to taste
• Japanese mayonnaise (optional)

1. Chop onions and garlic. Slice sausage, peel and slice carrots. Chop broccoli.

2.Heat tablespoon oil, stir fry sausage slices under medium-high heat for a couple minutes on each side, until fat is translucent. Set aside.

3. In a large wok or pan, brown the garlic and onion. Then add the carrots, cabbage and broccoli. Cook for about a minute, then add a couple tablespoons of water to the pan and cook until broccoli is tender yet still crunchy.

4. Lastly, add the noodles, sauce packet, salt and pepper, and mayonnaise. Stir fry for about 1-2 minutes.

Quick and easy!
