If you love the vibrant flavors of hibachi cuisine, these Hibachi Noodles are the perfect addition to your meal. Bursting with buttery goodness, soy and teriyaki sauce, and a hint of garlic, this easy recipe will elevate any hibachi-style dinner featuring steak, chicken, or shrimp.

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)

Directions:

Melt Butter: In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter until it starts to bubble.

Add Garlic: Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Add Noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, stirring to combine them with the garlic and melted butter.

Incorporate Sauces: Stir in the sugar, soy sauce, and teriyaki sauce, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated.

Season: Add salt and pepper to taste, continuing to stir for another minute.

Drizzle with Sesame Oil: Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the sesame oil over the noodles for that authentic hibachi flavor.

Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added texture and flavor. Serve hot alongside your favorite hibachi meats and vegetables.

Serving Tips:

Serve Hot: Hibachi noodles are best served immediately after cooking to preserve their buttery and savory flavors. Pair them with hibachi-style steak, chicken, or shrimp for a complete meal.

Add a Protein: Turn this side dish into a main course by adding grilled or sautéed proteins like chicken, shrimp, or tofu directly to the noodles.

Garnish: For an added pop of flavor and texture, garnish with sesame seeds, chopped green onions, or a drizzle of sriracha for a spicy kick.

Storage Tips:

Refrigeration: Store leftover noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Make sure the noodles have cooled completely before storing to avoid moisture buildup.

Reheating: Reheat the noodles in a skillet over medium heat with a little butter or sesame oil to restore the flavors and prevent them from drying out. Alternatively, you can microwave them in short intervals, stirring occasionally.

Freezing: While it’s possible to freeze hibachi noodles, it’s not recommended as the texture of the noodles may change upon thawing. However, if you choose to freeze them, store them in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

To add heat, try adding a dash of sriracha, red pepper flakes, or a splash of chili oil. You can also toss in sliced jalapeños or chili peppers while sautéing the garlic for an extra kick.
