  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

Notes

  • One batch of this yakisoba sauce is enough for 1 batch (4 servings) of my yakisoba recipe.
  • Notes on Ingredients
    • Worcestershire Sauce: Use non-Japanese Worcestershire sauce for this recipe. Shake the bottle before measuring to evenly mix the spices.
    • Oyster Sauce: Use vegan or vegetarian oyster sauce for a plant-based version.
    • Honey: Substitute with maple syrup for a vegan option. Note that the sauce may have a slightly different thickness.
    • Garam Masala: Optional but highly recommended to recreate the subtle spiciness of Japanese “sauce.” It adds gentle warmth, not a curry flavor.
  • How to Use Yakisoba Sauce: This versatile sauce can be used to make classic yakisoba (Japanese stir-fried noodles), omusoba (yakisoba wrapped in an omelet), yakisoba pan (yakisoba in buns), or as a seasoning for stir-fry dishes, a burger or pizza topping, or a marinade for protein.
  • Storage Instructions: Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
