Shrimp Stir Fry with Noodles and Vegetables
This recipe comes via our good pal Natalia over at NattEats. She had the idea of taking our Ginger Garlic Sauté Kit—featuring the undefeated combo of broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, snow peas, carrots, kale, bok choy green cabbage, Yakisoba noodles, and a vibrant ginger soy sauce—and stir-frying it together with shrimp and a few other ingredients.
The result? Shrimp Stir-Fry with Noodles and Vegetables. (A very self-descriptive name, indeed.)
As it turns out, this was an excellent idea. Not only that, it’s an incredibly easy dish that will only require around ten minutes of your time and leave you with a restaurant-quality dish that will impress any fan of delectable stir-fry dishes. Go ahead and add this to your Rolodex under quick & easy meals on a weeknight.
Wait, you don’t have a Rolodex? That’s okay—a simple screenshot or bookmark will suffice.

What's so Yakisoba About Yakisoba Noodles?
Yakisoba is a Japanese noodle-based dish that’s stir-fried and first rose to prominence in Japan around the 1930s. The soba noodles in Yakisoba are not the traditional Japanese soba noodles made from buckwheat flour, but rather Chinese noodles made from ordinary wheat flour and flavored with a savory, umami-rich sauce that’s quite similar to Worcestershire sauce. Thus, “Yakisoba noodles” are noodles that have been cooked with the typical flavors of the Yakisoba dish. Yakisoba noodles are always excellent on their own, but even better when incorporated into a stir-fry. At least in our opinion.
Let’s all pledge to enjoy Yakisoba more often, starting with this recipe. Enjoy!
