Allow the yakisoba noodles to defrost, if frozen. Heat pan on medium high heat.
Cook bacon to crisp. Set aside. Leave dripping in pan and add sesame oil. Add noodles onto hot pan and add sesame oil and 1/4-1/2 cup water. Cook until noodles begin to separate. Add the dry sauce packet or okonomi sauce to the noodles. Toss lightly until sauce is incorporated evenly. Add the carrots, cabbage, onions, bacon, and other veggies or proteins. Cook, folding in the ingredients together until the cabbage become lightly tender.
*instead of sauce packets use soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, and some water.
** Or just use 2 cups coleslaw mix.
