Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Yakisoba Noodles 2 packs (300g)
  • Seafood Mix (to taste)
  • Napa Cabbage (to taste)
  • Shiitake Mushrooms (to taste)
  • Bamboo Shoots (to taste)
  • Carrots (to taste)
  • Spinach (to taste)

Seasonings

  • [A] Soy Sauce (to taste)
  • [A] Sesame Oil 1 tbsp
  • Sesame Oil (for frying noodles, to taste)
  • Sesame Oil (for stir-frying sauce, to taste)
  • Yu-chan Jang (spicy paste, to taste)
  • [B] Soy Sauce 1 tbsp
  • Potato Starch 2 tbsp (for slurry)
  • Potato Starch (light coating for seafood mix, to taste)
  • Sesame Oil (for finishing) 1 tsp
  • Salt (a pinch)

Steps

  1. Open the Yakisoba Noodles (2 packs, 300g) from the packaging.
  2. Loosen the noodles while coating them with Soy Sauce (to taste) and Sesame Oil (1 tbsp). [Pro Tip!] Loosening the noodles without pressing them down and coating both sides ensures a delicious result.
  3. Heat the seasoned noodles in a microwave at 600W for approximately 1 to 1 minute 30 seconds. [Pro Tip!] Heating allows the soy sauce and sesame oil aroma to penetrate the noodles, significantly improving their taste when fried.
  4. Add Sesame Oil (to taste) to the warmed noodles and mix again.
  5. Fry both sides of the noodles in a pan until golden brown. [Pro Tip!] Aim for a texture that is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Browning enhances the fragrant flavor.
  6. Once fried, place the noodles on a plate lined with paper towels, flipping them over.
  7. Heat a frying pan, add Sesame Oil (to taste), and stir-fry the harder vegetables like Napa Cabbage, Shiitake Mushrooms, Bamboo Shoots, and Carrots.
  8. Add Yu-chan Jang (to taste) and continue stir-frying to release its aroma.
  9. Add water to the stir-fried vegetables and mix well with Soy Sauce (1 tbsp).
  10. Add the pre-dissolved Potato Starch slurry (2 tbsp), stirring well to thicken the sauce.
  11. Add the Seafood Mix (to taste), lightly coated with Potato Starch (to taste), and stir-fry. [Pro Tip!] Adding the seafood mix later, rather than at the beginning, prevents it from becoming tough.
  12. Add leafy greens like Spinach and cook briefly.
  13. If the sauce is not thick enough, adjust the consistency with a little more potato starch slurry and remove from heat.
  14. Taste and adjust seasoning with Salt (a pinch) if needed. [Pro Tip!] Yu-chan Jang contains salt, so be careful not to over-salt.
  15. Finish by drizzling and tossing with Sesame Oil (1 tsp) to spread its aroma.
  16. Pour the sauce over the pan-fried noodles, and your Seafood Ankake Yakisoba is complete.
