A delightful Japanese-inspired noodle dish featuring tender pork, fresh vegetables, and a flavorful sauce.
Boil water in a pot, add a pinch of salt, and cook the yakisoba noodles until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water. Toss with sesame oil to prevent sticking.
Rinsing the noodles under cold water stops the cooking process and keeps them firm.
Heat peanut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced ginger and cook until fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the ginger from burning.
Add the sliced pork to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through.
Ensure the pork is evenly spread in the skillet for even cooking.
Add the shredded cabbage and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir and cook until softened.
Add a splash of water if the vegetables start to stick to the skillet.
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mirin, and Tabasco sauce.
Adjust the sauce ingredients to taste for a balance of sweet, salty, and spicy.
Add the cooked noodles and sauce to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook until heated through.
Ensure the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce.
Serve the yakisoba hot, garnished with chopped scallions.
For added flavor, sprinkle with sesame seeds or drizzle with extra sesame oil.
