  • 400 grams/14 oz beef thinly sliced, Note 1
  • 2 cups cabbage thinly shredded
  • 1 cup carrots peeled and cut into thin strips
  • ½ cup onion peeled, thinly sliced

Beef Yakisoba Sauce

  • 2 tbs soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 2 tbs worcestershire sauce

  • 2 teaspoon brown sugar

  • Cook vegetables: use the same pan to stir fry the vegetables for 2 to 3 mins.

  • Add beef: add cooked beef back to the pan, pour sauce over and stir fry till dish is heated through.
  • Serve: portion into bowls, garnish with pickled ginger, bonito flakes, sesame seeds and or chopped green onions (optional), provide chopsticks for eating!

Notes

  • Note 1 - Beef:  I am using sizzle steak. It is a very thin cut and cooks quickly. This or stir fry beef strips work well. You can also use beef mince or ground beef.
  • Note 2 - Noodles: I am using Instant noodles (ramen noodles). I buy a large packet that has no seasoning or dried vegetables. This way I am not discarding anything from the packet. They are budget friendly and are usually in the Asian foods section of the supermarket. You might know them as 2 minute noodles. 
  • Note 3 - Nutritional Information: is provided as a user friendly guide. Portion size and ingredients will impact kcal information.
