Yakisoba is a classic Japanese noodle dish with a salty, sweet and sour sauce. Made in one-pan, this recipe is so easy to make and is always a crowd pleaser.

Simple Yakisoba Noodles Recipe (1)

Yakisoba noodles have become quite the staple in our home. We love ordering takeout just like the next family, but this recipe is so quick we can whip it up before a delivery order could even arrive.

These noodles are made with chicken, but if you are craving beef try making Beef Yakisoba instead. Also, feel free to omit the chicken or beef if you are a vegetarian! The noodles are just as delicious meatless or tossed with some grilled tofu instead.

What is Yakisoba?

Yakisoba noodles look similar to ramen noodles, but they are slightly different. They are made of wheat and best when stir-fried. A traditional yakisoba dish is made with thin slices of pork, carrots, cabbage, onions and a signature sweet and salty sauce. We love our yakisoba with chicken, but feel free to substitute pork if you so wish!

Ingredients for Yakisoba Noodles

  • Red Bell Pepper – you can also use green or yellow bell peppers.
  • Carrot – add some color by adding mixed colored carrots.
  • Green Onions – if you don’t have any on hand, you can skip out on it.
  • Boneless Chicken – beef, pork, shrimp, tofu or more veggies are also great options.
  • Cabbage Head – green cabbage is the best in this recipe.
  • Yellow Onion – you can also use white onions.
  • Yakisoba Noodles – ramen noodles, sold in most grocery stores fridge section.

Yakisoba Sauce Ingredients:

  • Sugar – white sugar will give you the best flavors in this dish.
  • Soy Sauce – low sodium soy sauce will make the best option.
  • Oyster Sauce – that deep flavor, such a great addition to the sauce.
  • Ketchup – this will add a tart and sweet taste to the dish.
  • Worcester Sauce – is a must for the recipe, it gives it a really great deep flavor.

How to Make Yakisoba

  1. Combine all your sauce ingredients together
  2. Prep your veggies and cook your noodles.
    Note: some varieties come precooked and only need a quick reheating.
  3. Cook all your veggies in a skillet until golden brown.
  4. Cook your chicken in a separate pan.
  5. Add your veggies back into your chicken pan. Add in the sauce and stir to combine.
  6. Add your noodles into the mixture. Cook for a few minutes. Serve!

Where to Buy Yakisoba Noodles

Yakisoba noodles are becoming so popular that you can find them in most grocery stores. If you are having a hard time spotting them, your local Asian specialty store will definitely have them. You can also order them from Amazon in a pinch.

As a heads up, yakisoba noodles are sold a couple of different ways. Sometimes they are stored in packages with water and only need to be drained and tossed in the pan. Other times, yakisoba noodles are vacuum-sealed and need to be revived by placing them in cold water to loosen them up before cooking.

Tips for the Best Yakisoba

  • Prepare all your ingredients ahead of time for easier stir-frying.
  • Use a wok pan to prepare your noodles if you have one. If you don’t, use a large skillet.
  • Slice your chicken into thin strips for quicker cooking.
  • Don’t overcook your yakisoba. This dish has a tendency to dry out if stir-fried too long.

    Duper good! Made with only half the noodles because that is what I had. Had to substitute 1/3 of the oyster sauce for hoisin sauce and used a little less Worcester sauce. This is really quick and very good. Thank you for the recipe!

    Hi, I just love your recipes. I am not a cook nor a chef. I just like growing the stuff (veg & herbs) we use to make food. I think every family's different ( my son and myself don't like sugar / salt, my hubby loves it and my sister's diabetic - quite a tall order to keep everyone happy). I think it's important to adjust the sugar, salt, herbs, spices, sauces to accommodate what taste the family / friends you're cooking for prefer and / or like ....

    Happy experimenting with cooking for the family

    4 tables spoons of worcestershire sauce is way too much - it over powers it. As does the sugar from the Ketchup, Oyster sauce and TWO tablespoons of sugar. This is sickly and just been rejected by both kids and husband. Really disappointed as wanted to recreate authentic noodles and this was not it.

    DaynaMay 11, 2023

    I love this recipe. I have made it several times and have found that doubling the sauce and using 3 tbsp of Hoison Sauce and one teaspoon of ketchup is key to making this sauce really great. I have used several different kinds of noodles and it is always great. Thank you for the recipe. It’s one of my favorites!

    The ketchup ruined it. I grew up on authentic yakisoba from a tiny little restaurant run by an old Asian couple. I wanted to make it for my kids, so I was quite excited to find this recipe…but oh so disappointed with the dish. Back to my search.

      Natalya DrozhzhinMar 24, 2023

      Hey Amy, I am sorry that ketchup ruined it for you. I think all ketchup is not the same and it can really change up the flavor. Also, if you are used to authentic version, this one is going to be slightly different. I am sorry you didnt love it!

          I am born & raised in Hawaii, I am Japanese/Okinawan, this recipe sounds exactly on point with a local twist. The only thing I personally would do is add a little more ketchup, & a little Mirin. I'd add sliced Shitake mushrooms for an added earthly umami flavor. So making this dish soon. Thank you Natalya for posting this, looks yummy too! Great job!

    KatieMar 21, 2023

    Good recipe overall, easy to cook and full of delicious ingredients, but I’m not really sold on the sauce. The ketchup flavor is too strong for me and feels really out of place here, just not what I’m expecting with a yakisoba dish. I ended up using about 2/3 of the sauce and just adding a bunch of soy sauce to the dish and that made it taste great. Next time I’ll probably just omit the ketchup entirely.

    From my 7yo “Hi, guess what! When I first ate this yakisoba it was so good, I couldn’t stop eating it. And the night after I ate it, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I had dreams about it. Also, I’m a kid.”

    Please tell me the sodium count is a typo because I love the meal 🥲

    1. Simple Yakisoba Noodles Recipe (54)

      Natalya DrozhzhinFeb 5, 2023

      Hi Amanda, The sodium content is for the whole dish, not per serving. It is as high as it is because of the sauce. If you want to cut down on sodium a bit. you can use an alternative soy sauce, such as liquid aminos. I hope this helps!

      You could try hoisin sauce with a little soy sauce for saltiness as a substitute for oyster sauce.

    Hi
    Which noodles I can use instead of Yaksoba noodles?
    I don't know where to find them.

    1. Simple Yakisoba Noodles Recipe (69)

      ChrissyJun 14, 2022

      I use angel hair pasta and if I don't have that I use just use spaghetti noodles. I cook them then rinse with cold water, and then drain them really good and spread them out in a flat container with paper towels underneath them and on top of them to dry them out really well. Then after everything else has been stir fried , I pour oil of your choice on the noodles and mix with hands really well to coat evenly and stir fry the noodles as well. Then combine everything.

    2. Simple Yakisoba Noodles Recipe (70)

      Natalya DrozhzhinJun 6, 2022

      Hi Bruria- I really would recommend yakisoba for the best outcome for this dish. Yakisoba is often found in the refrigerated section of the produce section (like near the fresh herbs, tofu, etc.). Other times Yakisoba will be in the international aisle near other Asian foods. Last, you can always get it on Amazon, there is a link in the post. Hope this helps!

  17. Simple Yakisoba Noodles Recipe (72)

    Chris ButterfieldMay 2, 2022

    You say don't cook too long because it dries out. Yet good yakisoba is only achieved this way. Wet yakisoba is gross.

    1. Simple Yakisoba Noodles Recipe (73)

      Natalya DrozhzhinMay 2, 2022

      Hi Chris - Thanks for the feedback. This is just our preference to not pan-fry them so long that they harden. However, feel free to cook the noodles to your liking. Hope the dish turned out well for you.

    Making this tonight!! This recipe became our family favorite a while back, we love it! It’s so tasty, fresh and easy to make. We also like to pair this dish with Korean beef bbq on white rice. So good!!!

    Tip: prepare and refrigerate the sauce ahead of time and mise en place the chopped/sliced veggies in separate zip lock bags. When it’s time to cook, all you need to do is fire up the stove top and it’s practically time to eat!! Makes cooking on weeknights a snap~
