Instructions
- Start by making the yaki soba sauce. Place the yaki soba sauce ingredients into a small pan and bring to the boil.
- Turn the heat down to very low and simmer very gently for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat.
- Cook the noodles in a large pan of boiling water according to the pack instructions (usually 3-4 minutes). Turn off the heat, drain and run under cold water to prevent them sticking together. Put to one side.
- Heat 1 tbsp of the neutral oil in a wok over a high heat.
- Add the eggs plus a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook, tossing with a spatula, until the eggs are scrambled (about 1 minute).
- Remove the eggs from the pan and place in a bowl.
- Heat the remaining 2 tbsp of neutral oil in the wok over a high heat.
- Sprinkle the chicken with the salt, black pepper, and white pepper.
- Add the chicken to the wok and cook for 2-3 minutes until sealed.
- Add the garlic, ginger, peppers, and onion and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, stirring often until slightly softened.
- Add the prawns, beansprouts, spring onions, noodles, hoisin sauce, ketchup, chilli flakes, and the yaki soba sauce you made earlier. Stir fry together, stirring often for 2-3 minutes until hot.
- Add the cooked eggs and toss everything together.
- Divide between four plates and serve topped with pickled ginger, crispy onions, and sesame seeds.
Notes
- This dish can be customized with different vegetables or proteins as desired.
- Make sure to rinse the noodles under cold water to prevent them from clumping together.
