I cooked vegan yakisoba the other day and realized I haven’t shared my quick and easy recipe here on the blog. I call it my lazy girl noodles because you can throw in any vegetables, any sauce, boil noodles, stir-fry and voila, you’ll have your Japanese fix in 15 minutes or less.
If you are following a whole food plant-based diet, strive for oil-free cooking. Oil is considered processed and empty calories. Meaning, no nutritional value. Also, recipes are here to guide us but feel free to tweak anytime. Don’t have a particular ingredient? replace with what you have! That’s the beauty of cooking and the more you do it, the more you get accustomed to stress-free cooking.
Yakisoba can be made with different sauces: teriyaki, sweet, spicy, the choices are endless. For this version, I used vegan mushroom oyster sauce.
So let’s jump right in!

Yummy! I love yakisoba, so I need to try this easy stir fry. That’s great that you can buy a package of mixed stir-fry veggies. I don’t think I’ve seen that in my supermarket.
I always buy this packet every time I see it. Makes it easy to grab and cook
Yummy! I’ll have to give this a try.
let me know how you like it
I love fast to put together meals. I’ve become a lazy cook so something like this that is easy would be great.
