How to Make Yasai Yaki Soba

Yasai Yaki Soba Recipe
  • Place the rice noodles in a saucepan and cover with boiling water. Let them sit for 5 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked. Drain and rinse under cold running water. Drizzle with a teaspoon of oil, toss, and set aside.
  • Thinly slice the vegetables. Dice the garlic and ginger.
  • Heat oil in a wok or large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add all the vegetables, garlic, and ginger.
  • While the vegetables cook, heat some oil in a separate pan. Add the cubed tofu and cook until browned and crispy.
  • Once the vegetables have softened slightly, add the noodles to the pan. Toss quickly to coat the noodles with the oil. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Add some of the sauce and sriracha if you want extra spice. Mix everything together and cook until hot.
  • Divide between two plates, top with the crispy tofu, and garnish with spicy vinegar, pickled ginger, shallots, and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
