This meatless pineapple teriyaki yakisoba noodles recipe is a delicious vegetarian meal that is easy to make and uses minimal ingredients too. A sweet and sour noodles dish packed with flavor and ready in minutes, what else can be better?
If you've ever eaten at a Chinese buffet and had the option of watching someone cook foods on a hot griddle after hand-selecting the ingredients, then you know how sometimes you just HAVE to recreate those awesome flavors at home.
About a decade ago (WOW I feel old just saying that)... I was at an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet that has long since closed its doors. I grabbed random sauces, sliced produce, and meats and ended up with an almost perfect yakisoba stir fry in minutes while watching the guy do his thing with two large spatulas.
After trying it, I had to go back for more, but this time I modified it and removed the meat. That one was a winner. And ever since that day, I have been enjoying my homemade recreation of that dish. Today, I'm sharing it with all of you too.

🥘 Ingredients
Bell pepper- You can use any color of bell pepper for this recipe, but I like to use green ones.
Yakisoba noodles- For the noodles in this recipe I highly recommend using yakisoba noodles. I usually find them in bulk for cheap at Asian markets.
Teriyaki sauce- Use your favorite teriyaki sauce.
Soy sauce- This will add a nice depth of flavor and salt to the sauce.
Minced garlic- For added flavor and aroma.
Red onion- Sliced red onion will give us a nice sweet crunch.
Pineapple chunks- You can use fresh or canned pineapple, but it will add a nice burst of flavor and sweetness to the dish.

🍴 Recipe Tips
What's really great about this recipe is that you can easily modify it to your own taste buds.
Want chicken, pork, or beef? Go for it! Since the noodles are already technically cooked, all you need to do is warm everything together. This means you can have dinner ready as soon as you want and can control the crunch of the onions and bell pepper too.
I like to use canned chunked pineapple because it saves me time and effort and already comes with juice, but if you wanted to you can use fresh pineapple instead. But, you'll still need some pineapple juice too.
