Let&#8217;s face it, the noodles alone don&#8217;t offer much nutrition. But they do make a scrumptious vehicle for my favorite vegetables, which usually means every vegetable I have in the house.<\/p>\n<p>I get Maruchan&#8217;s fresh Yakisoba noodles and more or less follow their directions. I pre-cook my veggies for a few minutes &#8211; in this case, bell pepper, onion, and kale. Then, I set my veggies aside, cook the noodles for about 30 seconds in whatever oil is left in the pan, add 1\/4 cup of water and the seasoning packet from the package, stir about 2 minutes until the noodles completely soften, then add everything back into the pan for final seasonings. The whole process takes less than 10 minutes, and dinner is ready to go.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/garlicmysoul.com\/blog\/weeknight-dinner-yakisoba-noodles\/asian3\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8920\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8920\" title=\"asian3\" src=\"http:\/\/garlicmysoul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/asian3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/garlicmysoul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/asian3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/garlicmysoul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/asian3-652x435.jpg 652w, https:\/\/garlicmysoul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/asian3-449x300.jpg 449w, https:\/\/garlicmysoul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/asian3-149x100.jpg 149w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For protein, I&#8217;ve added everything from tofu to steak.
