Looking for an easy and ready-made weeknight dinner idea? Costco sells a fresh stir fry kit with seasoned chicken, tender crisp vegetables, delicious yakisoba noodles, and a sweet and savory sauce. If you need an easy chicken yakisoba recipe, this is about as simple as it gets.
For the vegetarians, you can also get Costco frozen noodles for stir fry. The frozen vegetable yakisoba kit contains Japanese-style stir fried noodles with crisp veggies and a savory sauce. I checked out both types of Costco yakisoba so you’ll get the info on the kit that’s best for you!
➕ Costco Yakisoba Stir Fry Kit (Cooking Instructions)
You can find the Costco yakisoba stir fry recipe directions right on the packaging for the product. If your package is damaged, here are the how to cook Costco yakisoba stir fry cooking instructions:
Heat a wok or large saute pan over medium high heat on the stovetop with about ¼ cup of oil. (The how to cook Costco stir fry kit instructions calls for 2oz of oil which is approximately ¼c.)
Add the vegetables and cook for 2 minutes. (Don’t miss all the veggies hidden under the noodles!)
Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 2 minutes more.
Next, add the noodles and sauce and cook, stirring frequently to coat everything with the sauce, for 1 minute. The Costco yakisoba noodles stir fry is done when it reaches a minimum safe internal temperature of 165F (74C). Use a meat thermometer to check.
I was surprised at how many veggies were hiding under the noodles in the container. There are far more vegetables and less noodles than it initially appears. The sauce was salty with a little sweetness- we all really enjoyed it!
If you dislike salty foods, you may want to only use half the sauce when cooking this dish. Add in the rest of the sauce after tasting, if you determine you want more.
Leftover Costco yakisoba stir fry can be kept in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat it, you can microwave individual portions in a microwave safe bowl for 1-2 minutes on high.
Does stir fry need to be on medium or medium high heat?
Stir fries (in general) are heated quickly in a wok over medium high heat. You want the vegetables to remain tender crisp, and the meat to be seared on the outside, remaining juicy in the center.
Vegetable Yakisoba Costco Cooking Instructions
Costco also sells frozen vegetable yakisoba that can be cooked in the microwave or on the stovetop. This product is more of a side dish than a full meal. Here’s how to cook Costco veggie yakisoba in the microwave:
Tear open a corner of the bag of yakisoba to vent. Microwave on high for 3 minutes (directions for a 1100-watt microwave).
Caution! The bag will be hot. Carefully tear the bag open while avoiding the hot steam.
Pour the contents of the veggie yakisoba in a bowl and enjoy.
Here’s how to cook Costco frozen veggie yakisoba on the stove:
Bring 1 cup of water to boil in a shallow non-stick pan on the stovetop. Empty a bag of frozen yakisoba into the pan, vegetable side down.
Heat on high for 6 minutes.
Flip the noodles over and lightly stir fry for 3-4 minutes until all the water evaporates. Enjoy.
Costco Yakisoba Stir Fry Serving Size
The prepared Costco yakisoba stir fry serves 4-6 as a one pan complete meal. The box of Costco’s frozen yakisoba contains 6 individually packaged side dish servings.

FAQs
Can you freeze Costco yakisoba stir fry?
Yes, you can freeze Costco Yakisoba Stir Fry, but the texture and quality of the noodles and vegetables may deteriorate. Freezing can cause the vegetables to become mushy and the noodles to become soggy. Additionally, the sauce may separate when frozen and thawed, resulting in a less flavorful dish.
Are yakisoba noodles from Costco vegan?
Yes, the noodles in the Kirkland yakisoba are vegan, but the package also contains chicken, so this is not a vegan option. Costco’s frozen yakisoba does appear to be a vegan product.
What is the sauce for Costco yakisoba?
The Costco yakisoba sauce is almost the same as teriyaki sauce, and you can substitute the two for each other in a pinch. Teriyaki sauce is usually made with soy sauce, sugar, sake or mirin, and sometimes ginger and garlic. Costco’s yakisoba sauce also includes ketchup for additional flavor.
Are yakisoba noodles already cooked?
Yes, many yakisoba noodles, including the ones at Costco, are pre-cooked and only need to be reheated. If you are using dried yakisoba noodles instead, they will need to be cooked in boiling water for a few minutes until they are tender but still slightly firm.

Notes
💭 Expert Tips from Dietitian Summer Yule
This is a level 2 recipe (transition or weight maintenance). Can yakisoba be healthy? Yakisoba can be a healthy dish if prepared with the right ingredients and in moderation. Get more information on making healthy yakisoba in my beef yakisoba recipe. My main complaint about all of the prepared yakisoba options is that they are very high in sodium. If you eat a double portion of the yakisoba stir fry from the Costco deli, you’re getting 2020 mg sodium. That’s close to the recommended sodium limit for an entire day. On the other hand, we really enjoyed the Costco yakisoba for a quick, tasty, and balanced meal. (Balanced in the sense that it provided a range of food groups, including lots of vegetables.) I would definitely purchase this one again, and you can always use half the sauce if you want things less salty. Nutrition information is for one serving of the Costco yakisoba stir fry kit (6.75 ounces). A more realistic portion is likely a double serving, in which case the nutrition info below should be doubled.
