What is the difference between Beef Yakisoba and Beef Ramen?

These two popular take-out Chinese dishes are similar in taste and ingredients, but the noodles are prepared differently.

  • Fried noodles It means “yakisoba”. The noodles are cooked and pan-fried before adding other ingredients. (This chicken chow mein is a great recipe.)
  • romaine It means “dressed noodles”. The noodles are boiled and mixed with the stir-fried meat and vegetables.

This recipe puts the noodles last, so it will be beef. Hello. (Wow your friends with this one!)

Whether the chow mein or the lo mein is delicious is up to you.

component

  • beef. Romaine protein of choice today. Beef contains protein, iron and several essential vitamins such as B6 and B12. Moderate consumption is considered good for health.

best beef for stir fry

  • For stir-fries, choose cuts of beef that are lean and can be sliced ​​thin for quick cooking. sirloin, Flank steakand top round steak All work great (I use them for stir fried teriyaki beef and crockpot beef and broccoli).
  • The ground beef lomen would be different, but still delicious (for example, it goes well with this Korean beef bowl).
  • If you have the means and opportunity, look for sustainably grass-fed beef. It is generally considered more nutritious and better for the environment than conventionally raised beef.
  • noodles. Cheeky slippery noodles are exquisite! For healthy noodles, I prefer to use whole wheat noodles that are rich in fiber and nutrients (I also use this trick in my stir-fried noodles).
  • garlic + ginger + soy sauce. Stir-fried Big Three.
  • Hisense. This sweet, savory, and umami sauce is just about everything you need to make a wonderfully flavored stir-fry. I always have a jar of it on hand.

Hint!

Hoisin is widely available at nearly every major grocery store. Look for them in the Asian and international departments. Or use it as a reason to visit your local Asian market.

  • vegetable. My favorite combination of stir-fried vegetables is broccoli, bell peppers, and carrots, which are both colorful and nutritious. The snow peas are also delicious. That means you can make stir-fries with just about any vegetable you have on hand.
  • water chestnut. Although optional, I’ve been obsessed with its crunchiness ever since I ordered Mongolian beef lo-men with my hard-earned money for lunches since I was in high school.
  • roasted sesame oil. Optional, but this adds a professional finished flavor to the main. It’s intensely nutty and savory and you can’t stop eating it.

FAQ

Which noodles are best for lomen?

An authentic Beef Ramen recipe calls for Chinese egg noodles made with flour and eggs. However, any long noodles available are fine. Soba (Japanese noodles made with buckwheat flour), whole-grain spaghetti noodles, or whole-grain fettuccine noodles all work well.

Can I use frozen vegetables?

You can use frozen veggies in this recipe, but I find fresh veggies to be more flavorful and textured.

If it is difficult to keep fresh vegetables on hand, try choosing vegetables that last longer, such as cabbage. The beef and cabbage loin noodles are delicious (see this cabbage stir-fry for prep tips).

How to make spicy beef lo mein?

For a little more spiciness, add some red pepper flakes or a touch of sriracha.

Can I add another protein?

of course! If your romaine contains two proteins, you can add another meat, seafood, or vegetarian option. I think that shrimp, salmon, tofu, etc. are especially delicious for beef.
