Ingredients
Before you start cooking, gather the following ingredients:

– 1 tablespoon sugar
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 1 onion, thinly sliced
– 2 carrots, julienned
– 2 green bell peppers, sliced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional)

Preparation
1. Cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the yakisoba noodles and cook according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse the noodles under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
2. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, mirin, and sugar. Set aside.
3. Stir-fry the vegetables: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they’re translucent. Add the julienned carrots and sliced green bell peppers, and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
4. Combine the noodles and sauce: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the noodles and stir well to coat them evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the noodles are heated through and the sauce is well combined.
5. Season and serve: Taste the noodles and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top (if using) and serve hot.
