Notes
Protein: You can substitute the chicken in this recipe for just about any protein. Beef, shrimp, pork, or calamari are great options. You could even use tofu for a vegetarian alternative.
Noodles: Although we use pre-cooked yakisoba noodles for this recipe, we encourage you to try them fresh or dried. You might find that you prefer these other varieties.
Wok:A big wok is the best thing to use for making stir fries like this. Generally, getting a nice char on your vegetables is key for unlocking the full flavor potential of this recipe.
Be sure to rinse your noodles, loosening them up, before you add them to the pan. Noodles that stick together won’t cook properly all together, and might even break while cooking.
Store: You can store leftover yakisoba for one to two days if you place it in an airtight container in the fridge. If you’re making this recipe with a protein other than chicken, you might get away with an extra day or two in the fridge.
Freeze:You can store your pre-cooked noodles in the freezer for up to two months in an airtight container or freezer bag. The vegetables may not reheat to the level of crispy crunch we all love in a stir fry after freezing, however.
