Ingredients

  • 100ml/3½fl oz ready-made teriyaki sauce
  • 4½ tbsp ready-made crushed yellow bean sauce
  • 1 lemongrass
  • 1 tbsp freshly grated root ginger
  • 200g/7oz soba noodles
  • 2 free-range eggs
  • ½ green pepper
  • ½ red pepper
  • 1 onion
  • 8 spring onions
  • 10 mushrooms
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • handful fresh bean sprouts
  • 4 tbsp ready-made teriyaki sauce
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • ½ tsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  • For the yaki soba dressing, bring the teriyaki sauce, yellow bean sauce, lemongrass and ginger to the boil in a small pan, stirring well.
  • Reduce the heat until the mixture is just simmering, then continue to simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened. Set aside until ready to serve.
  • Meanwhile, for the noodles, cook the noodles in a large pot of boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or until just tender. Drain well, then refresh under cold running water until the noodles are completely cold.
  • In a bowl, mix together the eggs, peppers, onion, spring onions, mushrooms, garlic and bean sprouts until the vegetables are coated in the eggs. Stir in the teriyaki sauce until well combined.
  • Heat the oil in a wok over a medium heat. Add the egg and vegetable mixture and the cooked, cold noodles, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the noodles have warmed through and the eggs and vegetables are cooked through.
  • To serve, divide the vegetables and noodles equally between two serving bowls. Drizzle over the yaki soba dressing. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds, if using.
