This is an awesome recipe! When we visit Maui, we would go to the Swap Meet and chow down for late breakfast and order the garlic noodles/Teri Beef (my husband's Fave) and Teri Chicken/garlic noodles which is my fave. My son loves this too plus a cup of chow fun. Bummed that they did away with the concession stand. But, there are more nosh places at the Swap Meet to choose from! Thanks for posting this since I miss this recipe. I found the Sun Noodles at Lee Lee's Asian market in Chandler, Arizona. I think they get it from L.A., CA. I've tried dried noodles, which is good, but nothing like fresh yaki soba. Whole Foods and other health food supermarket should have something similar.

Very good and quick to make, and they get the thumbs up from both my girls. I don't know what happened to the yakisoba noodles of the world, as I've seen them, but could not find them when I needed them. I used a thick udon noodle and they were very good. I meant to serve them with shrimp, but forgot. I'll definitely do that next time! Thanks for a yummy, easy meal!

Very tasty. I also could not find the specified noodles, so I subd chuka soba noodles, about a half a pound. I cooked the noodles in boiling water for a minute, then threw in broccoli florets during the last minute. Tossed the noodles and broccoli with the sauce, and added some chicken breasts marinated in soy, garlic and giner then grilled and sliced up. Took only a few minutes to cook the noodles in the sauce, maybe 2 or 3, but they were thin noodles. Will make again, but with a thick noodle, the thin noodle fell apart too much. Great recipe, will make again but trying thicker noodles and teriyaki chicken or shrimp. Thanks for posting.
