Ingredients
Scale
Noodles
- 1 lb. linguine or noodles/pasta of choice, cooked al dente
Sauce and Flavorings
- 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
- Prepare the skillet: Place a skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter until fully melted and slightly bubbling.
- Sauté garlic: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden, careful not to burn.
- Add noodles: Incorporate the cooked linguine noodles into the skillet, stirring well to evenly coat the noodles with the garlic butter mixture.
- Season the noodles: Stir in the sugar, soy sauce, and teriyaki sauce thoroughly to ensure all noodles are evenly coated with the savory-sweet sauce.
- Final seasoning: Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired for balanced flavor. Stir well to combine.
- Finish with sesame oil: Remove the skillet from heat and immediately drizzle the sesame oil over the noodles, tossing gently to distribute the nutty aroma evenly.
- Garnish and serve: Optionally sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added texture and visual appeal. Serve the hibachi noodles hot for best flavor.
Notes
- Use any pasta or noodles you prefer, but linguine or medium-width noodles work best for texture.
- Adjust the soy sauce quantity to control saltiness as some brands vary in strength.
- For a protein boost, add cooked shrimp, chicken, or tofu when adding the noodles.
- Sesame seeds are optional but add a nice nutty flavor and crunch.
- Do not overcook the garlic to prevent bitterness.
