Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Authentic Pork Yakisoba.

1. Step 1

   Start by bringing a large pot of water to a rolling boil.

2. Step 2

   Once it's bubbling, gently add the soba noodles and let them cook for about 5 to 8 minutes.

3. Step 3

   Stir occasionally to keep them from sticking together, and cook until they’re tender yet still have a delightful bite.

4. Step 4

   Once done, drain the noodles and give them a quick rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.

5. Step 5

   Set them aside for now.

6. Step 6

   Next, grab a wok and heat up some vegetable oil over medium heat.

7. Step 7

   When the oil is shimmering, toss in the pork strips, seasoning them with a pinch of salt and pepper.

8. Step 8

   Stir-fry the pork for around 5 minutes, or until it’s cooked through and beautifully browned.

9. Step 9

   Once ready, transfer the pork to a plate, but don’t wipe out the wok; you want to keep that flavorful oil for the next steps.

    Now, it’s time to add some color and crunch! Into the same wok, add the julienned carrots, sliced onion, freshly grated ginger, and minced garlic.

11. Step 11

    Stir-fry these vibrant veggies for about 3 to 4 minutes until they start to soften and release their wonderful aromas.

    Then, toss in the shredded napa cabbage and give it a quick stir-fry for another minute, just until it wilts slightly.

13. Step 13

    With the vegetables ready, it’s time to bring everything together.

14. Step 14

    Return the drained soba noodles to the wok and pour in half of the yakisoba sauce.

15. Step 15

    Stir-fry everything together for about 3 minutes, ensuring the noodles and veggies are well-coated in that delicious sauce.

16. Step 16

    Finally, add the cooked pork back into the mix, along with more yakisoba sauce to taste.

17. Step 17

    Give it a final stir to combine all those wonderful flavors, then remove the wok from the heat.
