Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tsp grated ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Step 2: Add 1 medium julienned carrot, 1 medium sliced green bell pepper, and 2 cups shredded cabbage to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 3: Add 12 oz yakisoba noodles to the skillet along with 3 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp mirin. Toss everything together and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the noodles are heated through and coated with sauce.
Step 4: Drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil over the stir-fry and toss once more. Remove from heat and immediately sprinkle 1/4 cup bonito flakes evenly on top, allowing them to gently wilt from the residual heat before serving.
