Ingredients

Yakisoba Sauce

4 tablespoons ketchup
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon Kosher salt

Stir-Fry

1 pound yakisoba noodles
¼ cup vegetable or canola oil
1 inch ginger root, grated or minced, about 2 tablespoons
½ pound boneless pork chops, sliced into 1 ½ - 2” long, thin slices, about ⅜” inch thick
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
½ large carrot, cut into matchsticks
½ cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
¼ head cabbage, cut into 1-inch pieces
2-3 green onions, green and white parts sliced into 2-inch pieces
1 cup bean sprouts

Instructions

Soak the noodles to separate. Add 1 pound of yakisoba noodles to a large bowl and cover with hot water. Soak for 5-10 minutes or until the noodles separate easily, drain, and set aside.
Make the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together 4 tablespoons ketchup, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and ½ teaspoon Kosher salt until smooth, then set aside.
Stir-fry the pork. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a 12-inch skillet or wok over medium-high. Add 2 tablespoons grated ginger and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Add ½ pound thinly sliced pork, stirring constantly, and fry for 1 minute.
Add the vegetables. Add 1 thinly sliced yellow onion, ½ thinly sliced carrot, ½ cup shiitake mushrooms. Fry for 1-2 minutes until the carrot and onion start to soften. Add ¼ head sliced cabbage and cook for another minute.
Stir in the sauce and the noodles. Add the reserved sauce, 2-3 sliced green onions, 1 cup bean sprouts, and the softened noodles, then toss well to coat. Cook until the noodles are warmed through, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, and serve.
