Easy Homemade Yakisoba Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp Japanese soy sauce (koikuchi shoyu)
- ½ tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tbsp sake or white wine
- 1 tsp tomato ketchup
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- ½ tsp sugar
- ¼ tsp curry powder
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
Instructions
- Add 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp Japanese soy sauce (koikuchi shoyu), ½ tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp tomato ketchup, ½ tbsp sake, ½ tsp sugar, 1 pinch ground black pepper¼ tsp curry powder, and 1 tsp toasted sesame oil to a small bowl and mix thoroughly.
- Feel free to adjust ingredient quantities to suit your preference. Use to stir fry with noodles, vegetables and meat. You can see the full yakisobe recipe here.
Notes
- Adjust ingredient ratios to suit your taste: for example, more soy sauce makes it thinner and saltier; more ketchup makes it sweeter and thicker.
- Cook this sauce together with noodles, meat, and vegetables; avoid using it cold/uncooked.
- I like this rich modern yakisoba flavor, but for a more traditional flavor, reduce oyster sauce and soy sauce ratios while increasing Worcestershire sauce ratio.
- Use curry powder only as a secret ingredient for depth and subtle spice (maximum ¼ teaspoon) It's not meant to create a curry flavor.
