Instructions:

Cooking spaghetti:

>Put water in a pan, max heat until it starts boiling

>once it starts boiling, add the spaghetti, set a timer on the short side of the package's recommendation (ie. if it recommends 6-8 minutes, 6 min)

>reduce heat level so it's just barely boiling or just barely not boiling

>stir a couple times to make sure it's not sticking to the pan

>when the time is up, put spaghetti in a strainer, strain it well, I usually give it 10-15 good shakes to make it drip and evaporate as much water as possible

>DO NOT RINSE IT

Making the sauce:

>add brown sugar to a small cup

>add soy sauce

>add Worchester sauce

>add ketchup

>add white pepper

>mix

>done

>it probably looks and smells like shit at this point, that's normal

Making the Yakisoba:

>[start with setting the water to boil]

>add the vegetable mix to a pan, ideally a wok

>remove most red pepper because red pepper ruins the taste

>set to max heat

>[this is where you have time to make the sauce]

>add oil, really doesn't take much, see pic 5 for reference, but I still added slightly more than necessary

>[this should be when the water starts boiling, add spaghetti]

>keep frying the vegetables, there are three signs for when they're about done:

>>amount of steam coming off is reduced a lot

>>oil in the wok is significantly reduced, see pic 6

>>sound of frying changes to a more low sizzling sound

>when it's done, reduce heat significantly, add 3 tablespoons of the sauce, mix it in

>[buffer time if spaghetti is not done yet, you can leave it like this for a couple minutes]

>at least 30 seconds later, add the spaghetti, pour all the remaining sauce over it

>set heat to high

>keep stir frying, lifting the mix up and letting the steam off

>regularly check the bottom of the pan, as soon as you notice any sticking, either vegetables or spaghetti, remove the wok from heat

>???

>done

Troubleshooting:

>shit's all watery!

Didn't fry long enough after adding the spaghetti.

>shit's all oily!

Added too much oil. You can use a napkin to soak up some oil if you see that the pan looks nothing like pic 6 at any point.

>I got diarrhea/salmonella/other enteritis

Didn't fry the vegetables properly.

>shit taste

No u. Make more sauce next time, alternatively use better ingredients.

>unlike you, I'm not lazy and want to do it properly!

Hunt down proper Japanese soba noodles or make them yourself, hunt down oyster sauce and substitute Worchester with it, use fresh vegetables - mainly cabbage, carrots and shiitake
