Ingredients

For the yaki soba dressing

  • ½ cup / 100 ml teriyaki sauce
  • tbsp crushed yellow bean sauce
  • 1 lemongrass stalk finely sliced
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger

For the noodles

  • 200 grams soba noodles / buckwheat noodles
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ green capsicum sliced
  • ½ red capsicum sliced
  • 1 medium onion thinly sliced
  • 8 spring onions sliced
  • 10 mushrooms sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • Handful fresh bean sprouts
  • 4 tbsp teriyaki sauce
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • ½ tsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  • For the yaki soba dressing, bring the teriyaki sauce, yellow bean sauce, lemongrass and ginger to the boil in a small pan, stirring well.
  • Reduce the heat until the mixture is just simmering, then continue to simmer for 8-10 minutes or until the mixture has thickened. Set aside until ready to serve.
  • Cook the noodles in a large pot of boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or until just tender. Drain well then run under cold running water until the noodles are completely cold.
  • In a bowl, beat the eggs. Then add capsicum, onion, spring onions, mushrooms, garlic and bean sprouts and mix until the vegetables are coated in the eggs.
  • Stir in the teriyaki sauce until well combined.
  • Heat the oil in a wok over a medium heat. Add the egg and vegetable mixture and the noodles. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes or until the noodles have warmed through and the eggs and vegetables are cooked through.
  • To serve, divide the vegetables and noodles equally. Drizzle over the yaki soba dressing. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds.

Notes

  • If you can't get yellow bean sauce use hoisin sauce as a substitute.
  • Substitute with any other thin variety of noodles if you can't find soba noodles.
