Steps
Loosen the noodles by rinsing them briefly under warm water so they separate.
Stir-fry the sliced pork in a hot oiled pan until it colours.
Add the cabbage, onion and carrot and fry until just wilted but still crisp.
Push in the noodles, add a splash of water, and toss to warm them through.
Pour the sauce over and stir-fry hard until every strand is coated and glossy.
Plate up and finish with aonori, pickled red ginger and bonito flakes.
💡 Tips
- High heat and quick tossing keep the noodles from turning soft and sticky.
- Loosen the noodles before they hit the pan so the sauce coats them evenly.
- The name means 'fried soba,' but the noodles are actually wheat, like ramen.
