    I love getting this dish when I order takeout. I love it so much, in fact, I decided to try my hand at it. It came out so good, and I can't wait for you to try it.

    Yakisoba Shrimp

    This was inspired by my other Asian shrimp recipe on this site, and pairs well with these air fryer frozen egg rolls.

    Ingredients

    There are several ingredients to this recipe, but none of them are difficult to find. You should be able to get all of them at your local grocery store.

    • Peeled, deveined shrimp
    • Canola oil
    • Ginger powder
    • Garlic powder
    • Salt
    • Pepper
    • Chopped asparagus
    • Chopped dandelion greens
    • Shitake mushrooms
    • Oyster mushrooms
    • Shelled edamame, peas or lima beans
    • Baby corn on the cob
    • Bean sprouts
    • Hokkein noodles

    For the Yakisoba Sacue

    • Sesame oil
    • Mirin
    • Worcestershire sauce
    • Soy sauce
    • Chili garlic sauce
    • Sake
    • Rice wine vinegar
    • Minced ginger
    • Garli paste

    For the Garnish

    • Chopped green onions
    • Sesame seeds

    Instructions

    The shopping list might be a bit long, but the instructions are fairly short for this delicious, easy dish.

    Step 1: Make the Sauce

    Combine all sauce ingredients in a mason jar and shake vigorously for 10 seconds. Set aside.

    Step 2: Season the shrimp

    Toss the shrimp with oil, ginger powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl.

    Step 3: Cook the Vegetables

    Heat a large wok over medium heat. Then, add oil and stir fry the asparagus, shitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, shelled edamame, and baby corn on the cob for 5 minutes. Remove the vegetables and set them aside in a large bowl.

    Step 4: Cook the Shrimp

    Add shrimp to the hot wok and stir fry for about 2 minutes, turning them halfway through. Add them to the bowl with the vegetables.

    Step 5: Complete the Dish

    Add oil to the hot wok and then stir fry the noodles for 1 minute. Then, add the shrimp and vegetables and stir in the sauce, chopped dandelion greens, and bean sprouts.

    Stir fry for a minute, then lower the heat and cook until the sauce slightly thickens. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds and serve.

    Hint: Make sure you keep your wok hot as you work between steps for optimal cooking.
