Ingredients

6 servings
  • Cabbage, Green
  • Yellow Onion
  • Carrots
  • Broccoli
  • Ginger, Fresh Root
  • Chicken Breast, Boneless Skinless

    Boneless skinless. Buy in bulk and freeze — Costco rotisserie packs work too.

  • Vegetable oil(30g)
  • Ramen Noodles, Dry(85g)
  • Sesame Oil, Toasted(5g)
  • Soy Sauce, Low Sodium(60g)
  • Worcestershire Sauce(60g)

    Lea & Perrins is the standard. A little goes a long way.

  • Ketchup(30g)
  • Sriracha sauce(15g)
  • Sugar, Granulated White(15g)

Instructions

  1. 1Peel the ginger with a vegetable peeler or spoon and grate it using a cheese grater. Grate the carrots using a large-holed cheese grater. Remove the core from the cabbage and cut into thin strips. Slice the onion into thin strips. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized pieces. Slice the chicken into thin strips.
  2. 2Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat for the noodles.
  3. 3Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the grated ginger and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant (it's okay if it sticks slightly; don't let it burn).
  4. 4Add the chicken strips to the skillet and cook 5–7 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink and cooked through.
  5. 5Add the cabbage, onion, carrots, and broccoli to the skillet. Stir and cook 5–10 minutes over medium-high heat until the vegetables are wilted and tender.
  6. 6While the vegetables cook, add the ramen noodles to the boiling water and cook 2–3 minutes until just tender. Drain the noodles, return to the pot with heat off, and toss with the sesame oil to prevent sticking.
  7. 7In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, sriracha (use 1/2 tsp for mild, up to 1 Tbsp for hot), and sugar. Stir until the ketchup and sugar dissolve completely.
  8. 8Pour the sauce into the skillet with the chicken and vegetables over medium-high heat. Add the cooked noodles and stir to coat everything evenly. Cook 2–3 minutes until heated through. Divide evenly into 6 airtight containers while hot.

Common questions

How much protein does Homemade Chicken Yakisoba have per serving?

Each serving contains only 2g of protein and 144 calories, making this a carb-focused side dish rather than a protein-primary meal. You'd need to pair it with a high-protein source like chicken breast or fish to meet macro targets.

How long does Homemade Chicken Yakisoba take to prep?

This recipe has quick prep time and yields 6 servings in a single batch on the stovetop. It's ideal as a starch component for meal prep when combined with separate protein sources.

Is Homemade Chicken Yakisoba good for fat loss?

At 144 calories and 15g carbs per serving, this works as a low-calorie carb source on a cut if you're watching total daily intake. However, the 2g protein makes it insufficient as a standalone meal — use it to round out macros after hitting protein targets elsewhere.
