Yakisoba sauce is a Japanese-style stir-fry sauce. It has the perfect balance of sweet, savoury and umami flavours. Use it to season yakisoba noodles and other stir-fry dishes.
Yield¾ cup
Servings6
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce , or vegan stir-fry sauce
- 1½ tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1½ tablespoons sugar
- 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce , I use Lea & Perrins
Instructions
- Combine the oyster sauce, soy sauce, ketchup and sugar in a small bowl. Mix until the sugar has dissolved. You can microwave the mixture in a microwavable bowl for 20 seconds to help the sugar dissolve.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce.
- Taste and season with more sugar for a sweeter sauce or a pinch of salt for a savoury boost – until the sauce is balanced to your liking. It should be punchy and bold in flavour because you will only add 2 tablespoons per portion of noodles.
Notes
- The Japanese noodle sauce works great with yakisoba noodles – the traditional Japanese choice. But you can use it with ramen noodles, udon noodles, or any other stir-fried noodle dish.
- Refrigerate the yakisoba sauce in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
