>>239 for super fast yakisoba I use Indomie as the noodle. I'll start the water on the stove and start preheating the pan for frying I wouldn't suggest teflon coated, since frying requires higher temp. if you want to be awesome get a carbonsteel wok, but i'm not that awesome and just use a thicker carbon steel pan. (castiron is great for this too) while that's getting hot and the water is getting to boil i do vege prep. Onions are a must, half an onion, peel the skin, then cut into radially into wedges. carrots are great, I'll use the back of my knife to scrape the skin off roughly, give it a rinse then roughly Julienne them. bell pepper, mushroom, squash, peas, green beans, broccolli, all work great. if i'm using some frozen veg I'll throw them in the water when it hits a boil along with the noodles. for fresh veg i throw them in the pan at the same time (no need to overly fry them.) I also will drop an egg on the side of the pan with the veg then break the yolk without scrambling it. after about 2-2.5 minutes of boiling the noodles, drain (do not fully cook the noodles!) scoot the veg on top of the egg to give room so the noodles can directly contact the pan. add some oil (either the coconut garlic oil the noodles come with or a neuteral oil. noodles (and any boiled veg) go into the pan along with any surface water that stuck. here you can either use the packets that come with the indomie or use a combo of oystersauce, fish sauce, soy, chili paste, garlic, green onion, ginger, and or sesame. There are many variations, and knowing what you like more or less is a bit of experimentation. let the noodles fry a bit before stiring it all together to mix the items and flavors up. takes about 6 minutes total. if you have any leftover proteins like boiled chicken, pork, beef, (firm) tofu or frozen shrimp all work great.
i will sometimes upgrade the noodles with fresh yakisoba noodles from an asian market but for a quick lunch i keep pantry stocked with the "instant" panfry noodles. (do not use instant ramen, it will be sad and you might cry)
