Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon grated ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 2: Add 1 medium julienned carrot and 1 cup shredded green cabbage to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables soften but remain crisp.
Step 3: Add 12 ounces yakisoba noodles, tossing to combine with vegetables. Pour in 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon mirin, and 1 tablespoon ketchup. Stir-fry for 3 more minutes until noodles are heated through and sauce coats everything evenly.
Step 4: Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and 2 sliced green onion stalks over the noodles, stirring briefly.
Step 5: Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates. Top each serving with a generous 1/4 cup of bonito flakes, allowing the heat to make them gently curl and release smoky flavor.
