Captain Mike's Beef Yakisoba

Every so often, Captain Mike reminisces about submarine food from his past. After all, when you are months underwater, food certainly helps. So his latest fond recollection has been about Beef Yakisoba, an Asian dish full of flavor using ground beef and spaghetti noodles, or, for authenticity, Yakisoba noodles found in the Japanese section of your grocery store. This spicy dish isn't too zippy yet very filling. Enjoy!



Ingredients

One medium onion

1/2 small cabbage

1/2 bunch green onion

Two large carrots

One red bell pepper

1 pound ground beef

16 oz vermicelli noodles (found in the spaghetti noodles section) or Yakisoba noodles


Yakisoba Sauce

Two tablespoons sugar

Two tablespoons soy sauce

Two tablespoons oyster sauce (found in the Asian section)

Two tablespoons ketchup

Four tablespoons Worcestershire sauce


Instructions

  1. Prepare all ingredients for the Yakisoba. Slice all vegetables into even slices. Reheat Yakisoba noodles following the package instructions or cook the spaghetti noodles and drain.

  2. In a lightly oiled Wok, cook all the vegetables separately on high heat until they're golden brown. Set aside in a bowl.

  3. Add more oil and brown ground beef to the same Wok or a skillet. Add vegetables to the beef mixture.

  4. Combine sugar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce in a separate bowl. Pour the sauce over the cooking ingredients and cook together for 2-3 minutes. Add Yakisoba noodles or cooked spaghetti noodles to the mix and simmer for 5 minutes.

  5. Serve Yakisoba while it is warm.
