Description
A flavorful and easy-to-make Hibachi Noodles recipe featuring a savory sauce made with soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger, tossed with perfectly cooked noodles and garnished with toasted sesame seeds.
Ingredients
Scale
Noodles
- 1 lb yakisoba, lo mein, or spaghetti
Sauce
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
For Cooking and Garnish
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Noodles: Cook the noodles or pasta just until al dente, with a slight bite remaining. Drain thoroughly and set aside to prevent overcooking during the stir-fry process.
- Make the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, light brown sugar, minced garlic, and minced ginger until well combined and the sugar has dissolved.
- Sauté Noodles: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the cooked noodles to the skillet and cook them, stirring occasionally, until they develop a slight golden color and a bit of texture, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Toss with Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles in the skillet. Toss and stir thoroughly to coat all noodles evenly. Continue cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to allow the sauce to meld with the noodles and develop deeper flavor.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish the hibachi noodles with toasted sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy the dish immediately.
Notes
- If yakisoba or lo mein noodles are unavailable, spaghetti is a suitable substitute.
- For added protein, consider adding cooked shrimp, chicken, or tofu during the sauté step.
- Adjust the amount of ginger and garlic to taste for a stronger or milder flavor profile.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to keep the salt content moderate.
- Ensure noodles are not overcooked initially to prevent mushiness after stir-frying.
