Shrimp Yakisoba

This shrimp yakisoba is simple yet a delicious stir fry which is very versitile and can acommodate every person’s preference. This shrimp yakisoba includes vegetables such as onion, bell peppers and green beans. They can easily be replaced with mushrooms, broccoli, asparagus, canned corn, etc. If Shrimp isn’t your game, replace with the same amount of another protein such as chicken, beef, pork or leave it out completely. I absolutely love making yakisoba at home because i can use up vegetables i have in the fridge as can change up my proteins so that the dish isn’t always exactly the same.

The sauce i add to these noodles is store bought, i have access to it almost all the time so i didn’t bother creating another sauce as i love the outcome of this one and it simplifies my cooking even more. If you cannot get your hands on this gourmet sauce, you can try to substitute with your favorite teriyaki sauce(just be sure to adjust amount as they are all different).

Ingredients:

2lb Yakisoba Noodles

1 small Onion

2 large Bell peppers (any color)

2 cups Green beans or broccoli

1lb Shrimps (peeled & de-veined)

1Tsp Johnny’s seasoning salt

3/4cup Gourmet sauce

2Tbsp Kikkoman soy sauce

1/2cup water

1-2tbsp Oil (for frying shrimps and vegetables)

Pinch of salt when sauteing the vegetables

Instructions:

Prepare your vegetables by slicing them into thin strips.

Peel and de-vein shrimps and season with 1tsp of seasoning salt.

Preheat a wok or a deep skillet on medium-high heat, add 1-2tbsp of oil and sear shrimps on both sides just until they turn pink. Take the shrimps out of the pan and set aside.

Into the same pan, add a little bit more oil if needed and add your vegetables. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and saute just until the vegetables are wilted.

Separate the noddles and add to the noodles following with 1/2cup of water, 3/4cup of Yoshida’s gourmet sauce and 2 Tbsp of soy sauce. Stir everything together carefully, reduce heat to medium-low and cover with a lid for 2-3 minutes stirring occasionally to help re hydrate the noodles.

Once the noodles are re-hydrated, add back the shrimps, stir everything once more. Continue to fry another few minutes to re heat the shrimps and allow most of the liquid to be absorbed. Turn off the heat and enjoy.
