Ramen Yakisoba

Have your ramen in a NEW way. Yakisoba noodles (Japanese stir-fried noodles), an interesting sour taste from the Worcester sauce but equally savoury from the oyster and soy sauce.

Yakisoba noodles

I found Yakisoba noodle packets in an Asian supermarket store and didn't know the noodles were going to be regular Nissin noodles!

I discarded the instant spice mix inside the packets and just used the noodles.

It would be better if you used fresh Yakisoba noodles but these Nissin Yakisoba noodles work just fine!

Spring onions

I split the spring onions into 3 parts here, part 1 and 2 being the parts you slice while part 3 is left to be cut by the 'negi cutter'.

I used a 'negi cutter' to thinly slice part 3 of the spring onions. Visit the link below to buy a 'negi cutter'!
