    I made this today. I didn't have any mirin, I used olive oil instead of sesame oil, and I used chinese cabbage which I had at home. It was still very tasty and I love the ginger flavour in it. Easy and quick. I'll definitely make it again!

    This was tasty and very quick and easy. Followed the recipe and liked the sauce very much - the mirin gives it a lovely sweetness. Will make it again, maybe with a fried egg on top next time!

    Added chicken also and used white cabbage, very yummy indeed! Added a couple dashes more soy sauce than the recipe requested.

    I second idt1986's question about the chili sauce. Hot or sweet? I've got both...I just don't know which one to use.

    I made this dish tonight for dinner. I used Thai Sweet Chilli Sauce. It was phenominal. I will absolutely make this again and again.

    It was ok, I really liked the soba noodles, but the sauce was a little bit odd. Not disgusting, but odd. I used thai sweet chilli sauce in it also. I think there is also a MASS of noodles compared to the amount of veg, I really struggled to get mine in one pan! Is doable maybe with some tweaks.

    Made this with some stir fried spiced tofu cubes. Went down a treat, but will use less noodles in the future. I also used the thai sweet sauce by the way.

    made several times and always good and is now my favourite noodle recipe. didn't use mirin or chilli sauce, instead i always use fresh red chilli and pad thai sauce. also i've tried with different cabbages and definately chinese cabbage is the best tasting in this recipe. i suggest adding the carrots and onion first until half cooked ,then the cabbage just before the noodles.

    Made this last night and it was great! I didn't add the ginger (personal taste) and also found the noodles to cook much quicker than the recipe said. All in all, really tasty. Tesco had all the ingredients, including the mirin.

    First off, this dish is not meant to be made with soba noodles, but ramen noodles. Even though "soba" is part of its name. Actually making this fried dish with soba buckwheat noodles is a horrible idea, and definately not yakisoba. It needed a dash of worcestershire sauce. I would also make the sauce first, and boil it, to thicken and boil off alcohol, then add to the cooked cooled noodles, and veg. Otherwise the noodles get too soft. If you can find it, pickled ginger and some aonori flakes are nice on top.

    Udon.. Not soba or ramen.. And the timing is a little off. Don't stir fry ginger on high heat for multiple minutes, it will burn. Good taste though!

    Couldn't find any soba noodles in Sainsbury's so used two nests of medium egg noodles and this seemed to be a good quantity to me. Very tasty and frugal. I've been buying jars of wagamama chilli men sauce recently but this becomes expensive. This could become our family noodle tea of choice. Although I do need something less spicy for my 2 year old. Any suggestions?

    I didn't use any chilli sauce - I thought Thai sweet chilli wouldn't be quite right in a Japanese recipe... I agree with the comments about the noodles - too much! A little too much cabbage too so i had to take some out before adding the noodles. It was really really tasty though. Next time I make it, I'll try it with the ginger (I used garlic instead) and fresh red chillies.

    oh! and I agree about the noodle type - I've had yakisoba as street food in Japan several times and I was sure it was ramen rather than soba!! soba tasted good too though! :)

    Delicious. Used tender stem broccoli, and runner beans instead of cabbage. Very tasty way to use up vegetables. Would definitely make again.
