Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 8 oz thinly sliced pork shoulder and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Step 2: Add 1 small thinly sliced onion, 2 cups thinly sliced green cabbage, and 1 medium julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 3: Add 12 oz yakisoba noodles to the skillet, breaking them apart if needed, and stir-fry for 2 minutes to warm through.
Step 4: Pour 1/4 cup yakisoba sauce evenly over the noodles and vegetables. Toss everything together vigorously for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats all ingredients.
Step 5: Remove from heat, sprinkle 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds and 1 tbsp chopped pickled ginger over the top, and serve immediately.
