Vegetarian Yakisoba Noodles

This delicious, colorful, and veggie-filled vegetarian yakisoba noodles recipe took less than 30 minutes to make and tasted fantastic. I made the sauce, cooked the noodles, and then sautéed the veggies before tossing them together and serving. These vegetarian yakisoba noodles were so easy, flavorful, and tasty! My son and I loved them, and I’m looking forward to eating the leftovers tomorrow (if I can beat my son to them).

How to Make Vegetarian Yakisoba Noodles

Prep and cut the veggies and have them ready to go.

Make the sauce by combining soy sauce, vegetable broth, brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sriracha in a bowl; whisk until well combined, then set aside until needed.

Cook the yakisoba noodles in well-salted boiling water per instructions. Drain, reserving a bit of cooking liquid.

Sauté the veggies by heating the vegetable oil in a large cast iron skillet or wok over medium-high heat until very HOT.

Add the bok choy, bell pepper, broccoli, shiitake mushrooms, carrot, snow peas, and onion to the skillet and cook, stirring often, for 3 minutes, or until the veggies are almost tender.

Add the well-whisked sauce and the drained noodles and toss to coat them evenly. Cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute.

Add a bit of the pasta cooking liquid if needed. Serve immediately with sesame seeds, green onions, and sriracha on the side. Enjoy.
