    When I was growing up, we would get to choose where we wanted to have our birthday dinner. When I was in grade school, I wanted a picnic on the beach. Then as I got older, I wanted barbecue ribs after spending the day at the beach. Yes, I continued this tradition with my kids as well!

    Then we moved to Iowa where there are no beaches, or Tony Roma's, or LUV's BBQ. Now for my birthday I usually go to a Japanese Steakhouse. Some years we have the whole show at the grill with the 'TOOT TOOT" of the onion train, and others we just order off the menu. Either way, it usually includes steak and seafood.

    This year Alex took me to Oyama Steakhouse for an early birthday dinner and I ordered my favorite Combination Yaki Soba.....

    A couple of months ago I decided that I wanted to make my favorite dish at home, so I started doing some research and came up with a recipe of my own. Mine has more meat, but it is pretty darn close. I already had some mini shrimp in the freezer that needed to be used, so I went with those. Shrimp is shrimp, right?

    How to make Combination Yaki Soba:

    Cook the noodles:

    Boil noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

    Chop the vegetables:

    Prepare the proteins:

    Whisk together sauce ingredients in a small bowl, set aside.

    Heat 2 Tablespoons of oil in a wok over High heat.

    Add ginger, be careful it will splatter.

    Then add the beef and chicken, stirring to keep it from sticking.

    When chicken is cooked, add the shrimp and cook until shrimp turns pink. Remove meat to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

    Remove any excess liquid from wok and add 2 additional Tablespoons of oil.

    Add the onions and cook for 3 minutes to soften.

    Add the broccoli and carrots, and cook for 3 additional minutes.

    add the broccoli and carrots to the onions cooking in the wok

    Then add the cabbage and 5 Tablespoons of sauce and cook until cabbage is wilted and reduced in volume.

    Add the cabbage and Sauce to the wok

    Next, add the noodles and an additional 5 Tablespoons of sauce. Continue to stir until everything is combined.

    Return the combination meats back to the wok with an additional 5 Tablespoons of sauce. Toss everything together until well combined.

    Garnish with green onions and toasted sesame seeds, if desired, and serve.

    Personally, I like mine better and I hope you do as well!

    • Heat 2 Tablespoons of oil in a wok over High heat.
    • Add ginger, be careful it will splatter.
    • Then add beef and chicken, stirring to keep it from sticking.
    • When chicken is cooked, add the shrimp and cook until shrimp turns pink. Remove meat to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
    • Remove any excess liquid from wok and add 2 additional Tablespoons of oil.
    • Add the onions and cook for 3 minutes to soften.

    Notes

    • I used cocktail shrimp because that was what I had in the freezer.
    • You might not use all of the sauce. You want everything coated, but not swimming in the sauce. Adjust to your tastes.
    • If you like things spicy, add 1 teaspoon to 1 Tablespoon of sriracha hot sauce.

      Glad to have found your blog via SITS! This recipe looks absolutely delicious! I've never had this dish before... but I'm a huge meat and seafood fan so it's right up my alley! Personally when reading a recipe blog post I don't always feel that the step-by-step photos are necessary. I love photos of the final product, and a few choice photos during preparation, though!

      PS: Picmonkey's awesome.

      Looking forward to reading more from you! 🙂

      No beach?! No BBQ?! I'm a South Carolinian and that sounds terrible to me! Japanese steakhouses are tasty, though. This recipe looks great - I have to show my sister. Her boyfriend is Japanese and they love stuff like this!

      What an absolutely fun blog--your dedication and effort are tremendous! I love the time you take for step-by-step photos; my personal sense is that it would great to have a printable text-only version of the recipe (possibly at the end of the post), but I'm loving what I see. Also, I hope things are looking up for you--it's great to hear that brighter days are in your future. Take care!
