A noodle dish is always a good meal idea. This shrimp yakisoba is a simple yet delicious stir fry which is very versatile and can accommodate every person’s preference. This shrimp yakisoba includes vegetables such as onion, bell pepper and green beans. Vegetables can easily be replaced with mushrooms and different vegetables such as broccoli, bean sprouts, asparagus, canned corn, julienned carrots and green onions are some good ideas. Whatever combination you choose, it will still be a delicious meal.
Replace proteins:
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 well as change up my proteins so that the dish isn’t always exactly the same.
The yakisoba 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).
Where to purchase yakisoba noodles?
Yakisoba noodles also known as lo mein can be found in most Asian grocery stores. If you don’t have one near you, you can also check your local grocery store in the Asian section of the store. I normally buy mine in bulk from U.S Chef Store.
If you cannot find soba noodles at all, you can try these ramen noodles or these Japanese ramen 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.
What to serve with Shrimp Yakisoba?
This shrimp yakisoba recipe is good as is after it is done cooking but some like to spice it up with sriracha sauce and dress up the dish with toasted sesame seeds.
Have leftovers?
If you have leftovers, this noodles recipe stores well in the fridge in an airtight container for 2-3 days. It makes a perfect lunch to take to work the next day.
