Ingredients
Scale
Noodles
- Your choice of stir-fry noodles, such as ramen, udon, or rice noodles (quantity as needed for 2-4 servings)
Vegetables
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 large carrot, julienned or sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
Sauce and Aromatics
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil, plus extra for tossing noodles
Garnishes
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: Wash and chop all vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Mince garlic and ginger finely to release their flavors.
- Cook the Noodles: Boil the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and toss with a little sesame oil to prevent sticking.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, stirring briefly until fragrant. Add the vegetables and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Add the Noodles and Sauce: Pour the cooked noodles into the pan with the vegetables. Drizzle the teriyaki sauce (soy sauce, mirin, and sugar mixture) over the noodles and veggies, then gently toss to coat evenly and heat through.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy your meal.
Notes
- Use fresh, crisp vegetables to maintain vibrant texture after cooking.
- Do not overcook noodles to keep them slightly firm and avoid mushiness.
- Adjust the sweetness and saltiness of the teriyaki sauce to your preference by tweaking the sugar or soy sauce amount.
- Stir-fry veggies on high heat quickly to lock in flavor and retain crunch.
- Prep sauce and chop vegetables ahead for faster assembly during busy nights.
