• POOR MAN's YAKISOBA

  I've been trying to look for ways to make yakisoba with sauces laying
  around the house, without using tonkatsu sauce. This also doesn't
  require meat, so it's vegetarian if you're using artificial
  oystersauce. Hence, "poor man's yakisoba."

  -1pkg Instant Ramen
  -1/2 a medium carrot
  -1/2c Water
  -1tbps Soya Sauce
  -1ts Seseme-Seed Oil
  -1ts Worchestire Sauce
  -1/2ts Oyster Sauce

  1) Take that 1/2 of a carrot and skin it down until it's nude. Then
  hack away like a madman until it's in thin matchstick shapes, otherwise
  known as juilette for those of you with half a brain. Not many people
  have half a brain these days.
  
  2) Throw all the liquids into a nice little skillet and heat at max.
  Personally, I prefer cast iron, but hey poor people can't afford to buy
  new pans. Bring to a boil. If you want you can put some of the noodle
  pack's seasoning, but it might turn out a bit salty if you put too much.
  
  3) Open the package and take out the noodle block. (Some people forget
  that step) Now, toss it into the skillet and wiggle it around a bit so
  it softens. When the bottom softens, flip it then keep wiggling it.
  
  4) Now, now, now stir it until most of the liquid has evaporated. There
  should be absolutely no extra liquid on the bottom of the pan. Don't
  over fry it either or else your noodles will get stuck to it.
  
  5) Throw the noodles into a nice dish and serve. This serves one person for those of you who didn't realize it yet.
