Welcome to Fast2eat! If you’re looking for easy-to-prepare, nutritious, delicious, and Fast-2-eat recipes, then you’re in the right place.
Yakisoba is a popular Japanese noodle dish served either as a main dish or a side dish. The noodles are stir-fried with meat and vegetables.
Although Yakisoba includes “soba” in its name, the dish can use either ramen-style wheat noodles (also called “Chinese noodles”) or traditional buckwheat noodles (soba noodles). And, while Japanese and Chinese noodles are traditional to use, you could even use spaghetti or linguini noodles if that’s what you have on hand!
The dish is incredibly versatile, and you will find many versions using different meats and vegetables. It comes together incredibly quickly, making it a perfect weeknight meal for using up whatever meat and vegetables you have on hand. You can even change up the sauce depending on your family’s taste.
Yakisoba is very similar to Chinese Chow Mein. Both dishes feature stir-fried noodles. However, Chinese chow mein uses wheat noodles that are often fried crisp or nearly crisp before being mixed with the stir-fried vegetables.
Noodles, beef, sweet and savoury sauce and tons of veggies make this dish hearty and healthy!

Instructions
Have all your ingredients prepped before you begin
- Assembling and preparing all the ingredients in advance is key when cooking Asian cuisine. Once you have all your components washed, peeled, chopped, trimmed, mixed, and sliced, you are ready to heat your pan and get cooking because dinner is now only moments away.
Wash and slice vegetables
- Prepare the bok choy by washing it thoroughly and chopping it into bite-sized pieces (including the green tops).
- Prepare the broccoli by separating it into florets and cutting it into bite-sized pieces.
- Peel the carrots and line them up to cut them into slices.

Prepare sauce
- In a small bowl, mix water and cornstarch, then combine all sauce ingredients, whisking together. Set aside.
Slice the meat

Cook the noodles
- Cook to al dente in boiling water according to your packaged instructions. Drain and set aside.
Finish the dish
- Heat oil in a wok or large skillet.
- Add the onions and garlic. Sauté over medium-high heat until bright and starting to soften.
- Add the meat, and continue to sauté until it is heated through.
- Add the carrots stirring frequently.
