1

Start by preparing yakisoba noodles according to package instructions.

2

Use 2 medium green peppers; cut off the tops and remove the seeds, then slice into strips.

3

Prepare baby carrots by slicing them into consistent widths; you can substitute with one medium carrot if preferred.

4

Cut half an onion in half, remove the skin, and slice it thinly.

5

Slice thinly cut pork into strips; if unavailable, alternatives include bacon or cubed pork.

6

Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat and add the pork, browning it while keeping it moving to avoid burning.

7

Once the pork is slightly pink, add the sliced vegetables and bean sprouts, stirring constantly to cook evenly.

8

Add 3 packets of yakisoba noodles to the skillet, along with water to help soften the noodles and prevent burning.

9

Use chopsticks or forks to separate the noodles as they tend to stick together; keep stirring.

10

Season with salt and pepper or kosho, then pour in the yakisoba sauce and mix thoroughly.
