Vegetable-Packed Abura Soba Recipe｜Easy Japanese Soupless Noodles with Bean Sprouts

If you love Japanese noodles but want something quick and filling, this vegetable-packed abura soba is an easy recipe to try at home.

Abura soba is a Japanese soupless noodle dish, usually mixed with a rich savory sauce instead of soup.
This version is made with plenty of bean sprouts, so it feels hearty but not too heavy.

It is perfect for lunch, dinner, or when you want a quick Japanese noodle recipe using simple ingredients.

Ingredients

For 2 servings:

• 2 packs fresh Chinese-style noodles or ramen noodles
• 1 bag bean sprouts
• Chashu pork, as much as you like
• Chopped green onions
• Shredded nori seaweed

Sauce

• 3 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp vinegar
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp sugar

Optional Toppings

• Toasted sesame seeds
• Chili oil
• Raw egg yolk or soft-boiled egg
• Mayonnaise

How to Make Vegetable Abura Soba

1. Boil the bean sprouts

Boil the bean sprouts briefly, then drain well.

2. Cook the noodles

Boil the noodles according to the package instructions.

3. Make the sauce

In a bowl, mix sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, oyster sauce, and sugar.

4. Mix the noodles

Drain the noodles well and toss them with the sauce while they are still hot.

5. Add toppings

Place the noodles in a bowl and top with plenty of bean sprouts, chashu pork, green onions, and shredded nori.

Mix well before eating.

Why This Recipe Works

The sesame oil adds aroma, while the oyster sauce gives the noodles a rich savory flavor.
The vinegar keeps the dish from feeling too heavy, and the bean sprouts add crunch and freshness.

This is not a restaurant-style abura soba.
It is more like an easy homemade Japanese noodle bowl with lots of vegetables.

Topping Ideas

For a spicy version, add chili oil.
For a richer taste, add an egg yolk or soft-boiled egg.
A little mayonnaise also works surprisingly well if you like creamy noodles.
