Why Vegetable Yakisoba Is a Must-Try Dish
The original creator shows yakisoba using wheat noodles, cabbage, carrot, shiitake and tofu. Her version uses fried tofu, bean sprouts and oyster sauce or a vegetarian substitute. FOOD uses pan-browned firm tofu, omits bean sprouts and oyster sauce and specifies vegan Worcestershire. Oyster sauce can contain shellfish: do not replicate the video's sauce. Follow FOOD quantities, timing and allergen notes.

Steps
- 01
Cut 200 g tofu into 1.5 cm strips and blot dry. Cut 150 g cabbage into bite-sized pieces; thinly slice 90 g carrot, 80 g onion and 70 g shiitake.
- 02
Mix 15 ml soy sauce, 30 ml vegan Worcestershire, 15 ml ketchup and 4 g sugar. Loosen 300 g pre-steamed noodles according to the package.
Loosen or warm commercially steamed yakisoba noodles as labelled; uncooked fresh or dried noodles must first be boiled according to their package. Check Worcestershire ingredients for anchovy, fish or oyster extract before calling the dish vegan. - 03
Heat 15 ml oil over medium-high and brown tofu for four minutes; remove. Add remaining 10 ml oil and cook onion and carrot three minutes, then mushrooms and cabbage three minutes until tender.
- 04
Return noodles and tofu, add sauce and toss 3–4 minutes until noodles are hot through and evenly coated. Finish with 0.5 g pepper and serve two immediately.
If the noodles clump, reduce the heat and separate gently with a spatula. Fold in tofu near the end to avoid breaking, and ensure the noodles are hot all the way through.
