Scale
Sauce Ingredients
- 4 cloves Garlic, peeled and grated
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Fresh Ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
Main Ingredients
- 2 packages Fresh Yakisoba Noodles, seasoning packets discarded
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Toasted Sesame Oil
- 1/2 Onion, sliced
- 3 stalks Celery, sliced
- 1 1/2 cups Green Cabbage, shredded
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: Peel and grate the garlic cloves and fresh ginger into a small bowl. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, and ground black pepper to the bowl. Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are combined. Set the sauce aside.
- Prepare the vegetables: Slice the celery stalks and onion thinly and set aside. Shred the green cabbage and have it ready for use.
- Loosen noodles: Remove the seasoning packets from the fresh yakisoba noodles. Place the noodles in a pot of boiling water briefly to loosen them, then drain.
- Heat oils and sauté aromatics: In a large wok or skillet, heat the olive oil and toasted sesame oil together over high heat. Add the sliced onion and celery and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes until they start to become slightly tender.
- Add noodles and sauce: Immediately add the drained yakisoba noodles to the wok, followed by the prepared sauce mixture. Toss and stir everything together for 2 to 3 minutes, ensuring the noodles and vegetables are well coated with the sauce.
- Finish with cabbage: Add the shredded cabbage last and turn off the heat to keep the cabbage crisp and fresh. Toss everything quickly together, then taste and adjust salt if needed.
- Serve: Serve the chow mein hot as a standalone dish or alongside your favorite stir-fry or Asian cuisine for a complete meal.
Notes
- Discard the seasoning packets from the noodles to avoid overpowering the dish with salt.
- Do not overcook the cabbage; turning off the heat preserves its crunch.
- Use fresh ginger and garlic for optimal flavor.
- Adjust the amount of soy sauce and salt to your taste preference.
- Fresh yakisoba noodles can typically be found in Asian grocery stores or the refrigerated section.
