Method
- Boil the noodles in salted water until al dente. Drain, rinse in cold water and drain again. Mix the chilli sauce, mirin and soy with 1 tbsp of water. Heat the oil in a large wok and add the ginger. Stir for a few minutes and then add the carrot, cabbage and onion. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes, then add the noodles. Stir-fry for a few more minutes until warmed through and then add the sauce.
- Continue mixing until everything is hot and the sauce has thickened. Serve immediately.

Comments
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.
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?
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.
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.
