These tasty Teriyaki Noodles are as easy and budget-friendly as it gets! Use any type of noodle, your favorite veggies, and my homemade teriyaki sauce made with simple ingredients for a delicious meal everyone will love that's ready in under 30 minutes.
3tablespoonsof sweetener (I used a mayple syrup agave blend) OR brown sugar
2teaspoonsof rice vinegar
2mediumcarrots
½ cupof chopped verts or green beans
½ cupof chopped cilantro
Optional - add beans to make it more filling, I like pinto
Instructions
Cook linguine according to the package
While that cooks prepare the sauce by combining the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sweetener, and rice vinegar in a small bowl and mix.
Chop carrots into small matchsticks and cook with green beans until they soften a little bit (Add beans here if using)
When the pasta is done, drain it and put it back in the pot. Add in veggies and HALF the sauce. If you're not going to eat it right away you'll need the extra sauce because it absorbs into the noodles. So save the other half for when you're ready to eat it. Cook it just a bit to take some of the bites out of the raw garlic. Toss in cilantro once removed from heat.
Notes
Use a wok, if you have one. A wok has a wide, shallow shape with high, sloping sides. This design is perfect for quick and even heating, ensuring that the noodles become slightly crispy and infuses the teriyaki sauces savory flavors throughout the dish.
Adjust the taste of the sauce. When you mix the sauce ingredients together in the small mixing bowl, taste and make sure the sweet and salty flavors are well balanced. If you prefer a sweeter teriyaki, increase the sweetener. If you prefer a saltier teriyaki, increase the soy sauce.
Cook the noodles until al dente. Keep in mind that the noodles will continue to cook when tossed with the teriyaki sauce. For this reason, it is important to cook the noodles until al dente to prevent them from being mushy.
