Hibachi Noodles Ingredients
- 1 lb. linguine or noodles/pasta of choice, cooked al dente
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat Butter: In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter until it becomes fully liquid and slightly foamy to prepare for sautéing.
- Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
- Add Noodles: Add the cooked linguine noodles to the skillet and toss thoroughly to coat them with the flavorful garlic butter mixture, ensuring even coverage.
- Mix Sauces and Sugar: Stir in the sugar, soy sauce, and teriyaki sauce, mixing well until the noodles are coated evenly, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Season: Taste and season with salt and pepper to your preference, giving the noodles another good toss to distribute the seasoning.
- Finish with Sesame Oil: Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle sesame oil over the noodles, tossing gently to impart the nutty aroma and flavor.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally sprinkle sesame seeds on top for texture and visual appeal. Serve the hibachi noodles hot as a delicious side or main dish.
Notes
- For best results, cook noodles just until al dente to maintain a slightly firm texture.
- You can substitute linguine with udon or soba noodles for a more authentic Japanese variation.
- Adjust sugar quantity to taste for desired sweetness balance.
- Add vegetables like sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, or green onions if desired to enhance flavor and nutrition.
- To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free soy sauce and gluten-free noodles.
