LAY HO MA! Okay, so I've been planning on filming a vegan yakisoba episode for quite a while now and because of closures its been a challenge for me to find good soba noodles so I had to make do with the Japanese udon noodles I already have in my pantry. So technically, this is a yaki-udon recipe - don't hate me :) Join me in this episode and learn how to make a Japanese vegan yakisoba (or yakiudon) recipe that's not only delicious but super easy as always. Let's begin.

pinch of salt and pepper

1/4lb button mushrooms
1/2 carrot

1 tbsp rice rice vinegar
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
2 tbsp ketchup
1 bundle udon noodles (ideally soba noodles)

9. When the tofu is done, heat up a sauté pan on medium high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil
10. Add the white parts of the green onion and garlic. Then, add the kappa cabbage and sauté for 2min
11. Add the mushrooms, carrots, about 1/2 cup of the tofu and sauté for 1 min
