Meguin's Yakisoba

"This is a delicious comfort food, though it is definitely not traditional. The tonkatsu sauce is also good with fried chicken (especially chicken katsu) and fries. I also use it in my yakisoba. Hold the meat, and you have a delicious side dish. If you want to make it vegetarian, use a vegetarian Worcestershire sauce. This is also good with extra-firm tofu."

directions

  • Discard the "flavor packet" from the ramen. Too much salt!
  • Julienne the onion, pepper, and carrots.
  • Heat up the oil in a large, deep bottomed saucepan, medium heat.
  • Toss in the julienned peppers and onion. Sauté until the onions are starting to turn translucent.
  • Toss in the chicken, and cook until it is no longer pink in the middle.
  • Immediately after you put on the chicken, put a pot of water on to boil.
  • Throw in the carrots in with the pepper and onion.
  • While you wait for the water to boil, make the tonkatsu sauce. Mix the ketchup, tamari, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, rice wine, ginger, and garlic together in a bowl with a fork.
  • Break up the ramen into the boiling water (seriously, it makes life sooo much easier).
  • Put the cabbage into the saucepan, cover.
  • When the ramen's 3 minutes of cooking are up, drain it and add it to the saucepan.
  • Add the tonkatsu sauce, toss to even coat everything, cook for about 2 minutes.
  • If you want to get fancy, throw in some scallions. Yum!.
  • Done! Be sure to not eat it all at once, you'll get sick.

My cooking style can be described as "what ingredients do I have and how large is my pan?" I'm not really exaggerating.
