Ingredients

Scale

Noodles

  • 8 oz soba or yakisoba noodles

Sauce & Oils

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp vegetable or canola oil

Aromatics

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced (optional but recommended)

Vegetables

  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 small zucchini, sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned or thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Protein (Optional)

  • 6 oz chicken breast, shrimp, or tofu, cut into bite-sized pieces

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Boil the soba or yakisoba noodles according to package instructions until just tender. Drain and set aside. Chop all vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Mince garlic and fresh ginger, if using.
  2. Heat the Pan: Preheat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable or canola oil, coating the surface evenly. Ensure the pan is hot enough for stir-frying.
  3. Cook the Protein: Add the chicken, shrimp, or tofu to the pan. Cook until just done and lightly browned. Remove from the pan and set aside, keeping it warm.
  4. Stir-Fry the Vegetables: If needed, add a bit more oil to the pan. Toss in the chopped vegetables, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp and vibrant.
  5. Combine Noodles and Sauce: Return the cooked protein to the pan along with the drained noodles. Pour in soy sauce and drizzle with sesame oil. Toss constantly to evenly coat and heat through.
  6. Final Touches: Sprinkle sliced green onions on top and give everything one last toss. Taste and adjust seasoning with extra soy sauce or salt if needed. Serve immediately, piping hot.

Notes

  • Use high heat to achieve a slightly charred flavor and keep vegetables crisp.
  • Drain noodles while still al dente to avoid mushiness.
  • Prepare all ingredients before starting to stir-fry as the cooking process is fast.
  • Use fresh garlic, ginger, and vegetables for the best flavor.
  • Add soy sauce gradually to prevent overpowering the dish with salt.
  • Add sesame oil last to preserve its delicate nutty aroma.
