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 the noodles: Cook the yakisoba, lo mein, or spaghetti noodles just before completely soft or al dente. They should still have a slight bite. Drain the noodles and set them aside.
- 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.
- Cook the noodles: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the drained noodles and cook them to get a slight coloring, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Toss with sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles and toss thoroughly to coat. Continue cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes to allow the sauce to meld with the noodles and enhance the flavors.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and garnish with toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Hibachi Noodles!
Notes
- Using yakisoba or lo mein noodles provides the most authentic texture and flavor, but spaghetti is a good substitute if unavailable.
- Adjust the soy sauce amount to control the saltiness according to your taste.
- Add vegetables like sliced bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms for extra nutrition and flavor.
- For a spicier dish, add a teaspoon of chili flakes or Sriracha to the sauce.
- To keep noodles from sticking before cooking, toss them lightly with a little oil after draining.
