Instructions

Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients ensuring the vegetables are washed. Slice the cabbage leaves, peel and thinly slice the onion, and julienne the carrot. Cut the chicken thigh into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat Oil and Cook Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 4-5 minutes until they turn golden brown and are cooked through, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Stir-fry Vegetables: Add the sliced cabbage, onion, and carrot to the skillet with the chicken. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender and slightly softened but still have some crunch.
Add Noodles and Sauce: Incorporate the yakisoba noodles into the skillet. Pour the yakisoba sauce evenly over the mixture and toss thoroughly to coat everything in the flavorful sauce. Stir-fry another 2-3 minutes, allowing the noodles to heat through and absorb the sauce.
Serve Immediately: Transfer the cooked chicken yakisoba to a plate or bowl and enjoy hot. This dish is best consumed fresh to retain its texture and flavor.
