i make yaki soba differently to that.
here's a recipe i use
110g (4oz) soba noodles
2 tablespoons yaki soba sauce
1 small onion, peeled and cut into half-moon slices
4 spring onions, trimmed and cut into 2.5 cm (1in) lengths
large handful of bean sprouts
15 small cooked peeled prawns
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
1/2 red pepper, trimmed, de seeded and cubed
1/2 green pepper, trimmed, de seeded and cubed
2 eggs, beaten
to serve
25g (1oz) pickled ginger
1 tablespoon dried shallots
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
cook the noodles in a large pan of boiling water for 2-3 minutes until just tender. drain and refresh under cold running water
put the yaki soba sauce, the onion, spring onion, bean sprouts and prawns in a large bowl and mix in the noodles
heat a wok over a medium heat for 1-2 minutes or until completely hot and almost smoking and add the vegetable oil. add the chicken and red and green peppers and stir fry for 2 minutes. add the noodles and vegetables to the wok and stir fry quickly for 3 minutes until warmed through. add the eggs and continue to stir fry for a further minute or until the eggs are just cooked. serve with the pickled ginger, shallots and sesame seeds
yaki soba dipping sauce with soy sauce, sugar and salt makes about 125ml (4fl oz)
100ml (31/2fl oz) light soy sauce
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
put all the ingredients in a small pan and bring to the boil. lower the heat right down and simmer for 10 minutes. once cool, it will keep for a few weeks in the fridge.
