Ingredients
- 3 tbsp (60 ml) vegetable oil
- ¼ small cabbage, cut into 5 cm pieces
- 1 small carrot, cut into matchsticks
- 1 small brown onion, sliced
- 4 fresh shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 250 g good-quality seafood marinara mix
- 2 packets (500 g) yakisoba noodles (thin, yellow, Japanese alkaline noodles)
- A handful bonito flakes
- 1 tbsp benishouga (red pickled ginger), to serve
- Aonori (Japanese green seaweed flakes), to serve
- Japanese mayonnaise, to serve
For the yakisoba sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp tomato sauce
- 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
Instructions
- To make the yakisoba sauce, in a large jug or medium bowl, combine the ingredients and whisk well to dissolve the sugar.
- Heat a very large frying pan, barbecue hotplate or wok over high heat. Add around 1 tbsp oil and fry the vegetables, until softened and lightly browned, then remove from the pan. Add another 1 tbsp oil to the pan and fry the seafood marinara mix, until almost cooked through, then remove from the pan.
- Microwave the noodles for 1 minute to soften, then add the remaining oil and fry the noodles until lightly toasted and separated. Return the vegetables to the noodles with as much of the yakisoba sauce as you’d like, and toss well to combine. Stir through the cooked seafood, bonito flakes and benishouga and divide between plates. Scatter with the aonori and serve with mayonnaise.
