Recipe Notes

You can also use bell peppers and bok choy instead of the garlic chives. In that case, stir-fry them along with the other vegetables.
We boiled the fresh ramen noodles which are heartier and more filling than regular yakisoba noodles but you can also use packaged steamed yakisoba noodles instead.
