Servings: 6
Ingredients
- Hibachi Noodles
- 1 lb. cooked yakisoba noodles or udon or ramen or linguini (see note)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar or brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
- optional sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the noodles if necessary according to the package directions.
- Place a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. When hot, add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the soy sauce, teriyaki sauce and sugar to the pan. Stir for about 30 seconds to let the sugar dissolve completely.
- Add the cooked noodles and toss using kitchen tongs to coat completely.
- Drizzle the sesame oil on top and toss a few times more.
- Garnish with optional sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately one they’re own or with dishes like hibachi vegetables, hibachi chicken or hibachi steak.
Notes
- Noodles: Yakisoba are buckwheat noodles available in Asian grocery stores and online. If you can’t find any, the next closest approximation are udon noodles followed by ramen. Failing that, you can use linguini but you’ll need to cook it first.
- Sesame oil: Use Asian sesame oil made with toasted sesame seeds, as refined sesame oil lacks flavor.
- Reheating: To reheat hibachi noodles, place a nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, add one tablespoon of water followed by the noodles. Stir fry for 1 to 2 minutes until steamy hot and then serve.
