    Ohana Noodles recipe copycat

    Ohana Noodles are the beloved side dish served at Disney's Polynesian Resort at the Ohana restaurant. This is a copycat recipe of the Disney Noodles!

    When we are waiting for our next vacation to a Walt Disney Resort, my kids will ask for me to make this Disney Ohana noodles recipe to bring back the magical memories of trips of the past.

    Here is why this recipe is amazing:

    • A copycat recipe of the beloved Ohana Disney yakisoba noodles you can make at home.
    • Dress up the noodles with your favorite vegetables for added crunch and flavor.
    • This dish makes a large amount and the leftovers are delicious!

    Ohana Noodle Ingredients needed:

    Ohana Noodles ingredients
    Ohana Noodle Ingredients
    • Yakisoba Noodles - 1 8 ounce package dried Chinese noodles
    • Brown Sugar - it does need to be brown to give an extra layer of caramel flavoring to the sauce
    • Soy Sauce - reduced-sodium soy sauce would work well in this recipe
    • Rice Vinegar - adding more Polynesian flavors to this dish.
    • Garlic - I use garlic confit but raw garlic will work well in this recipe too
    • Ginger - fresh, peeled and grated. About a 1 inch piece
    • Pineapple Juice - I used canned but if fresh is available to you, use it!
    • Corn Starch - used in combination with the pineapple juice to make a slurry and thicken the sauce
    • Purple Cabbage - shredded
    • White Cabbage - shredded
    • Bok Choy - washed and finely sliced into ribbon
    • Bell Pepper - my addition to the recipe, washed, seeded and julienne.
    • Oil - for sauteeing

    Frequently asked questions, answers and tips about Ohana Noodles:

    Are these noodles served warm or cold?

    I serve these yakisoba hot or warm straight out of the pan but will eat the leftovers cold out of the refrigerator.

    How do you reheat the noodles?

    I put my potion on noodles in a microwave safe bowl, give it a splash of water and microwave on high in 30 second intervals, stirring between intervals until heated through.

    Should I wash the bok choy before using?

    Yes! Bok choy is grown in sandy soil and can have sand and soil in between the stalks. Thinly slice the vegetable and soak in water, allowing the dirt to sink to the bottom of the bowl. Shake off excess moisture before sautéing.

    What is a slurry?

    A slurry is a corn starch and liquid mixture that is whisked together to dissolve the corn starch and then added to a sauce to thicken the sauce. Once the sauce boils, the sauce starts to thicken thanks to the slurry.
