  • 1 russet potato
  • 1 onion
  • 1 celery stalk
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 carrot
  • 2 cups cabbage
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha

  • additional vegetables (optional – use up any veg you have on hand in place of or in addition to any veg above)
  • sesame seeds (optional – tossed in the pan at the end to add a toasty flavor)

3. Directions:

  1. Party in the pan – Place a large pan or wok over super high heat. Grab a box grater and grate the potato and add it to the pan. Then slice up your onion into thin strips and add to the pan. Rinse your celery, thinly slice, and add to the pan. Toss the mixture and drizzle with a bit of veg oil. Chop your garlic really fine. As you chop, sprinkle with salt and continue to chop, this helps break down the chunks. Add the garlic to the pan. Grate your carrot, roughly chop the cabbage, and add them both to the pan.
  2. Get sauced – Grab a bowl to make the sauce. Combine sriracha, oyster sauce, balsamic, soy sauce, and sugar. Stir to combine.
  3. Noodling – Tear up your yakisoba noodles and add them to your pan with all the vegetables. Give it all a good stir and continue to saute’. Run over to the sink and get a palmful of water and throw it on the noodles to help steam them. Add your sauce to the pan and stir. Add your sesame seeds, if you’re using them. Season with salt.
  4. Plate! Get your plate! Dump some yakisoba onto your plate, shake the plate to spread it out, and top with additional sesame seeds. Imperfectly perfect!
  5. Hot Tip! Don’t cry – If you put a wet towel in your mouth when cutting onions, you’ll look ridiculous but you won’t cry, the towel captures all the vapors before they get to your eyes.
