Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) linguine or noodles/pasta of choice, cooked al dente
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons (45 grams) butter
Seasonings and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon (15 grams) garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons (45 grams) sugar
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) sesame oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Garnish:
- 1 tablespoon (15 grams) sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a large skillet and set it over medium-high heat, allowing the butter to melt smoothly and create a luxurious foundation for the noodles.
- Introduce minced garlic into the melted butter, sautéing for approximately 30-45 seconds until an aromatic fragrance develops, being cautious to prevent burning.
- Gently fold the pre-cooked noodles into the skillet, ensuring they become thoroughly coated with the garlic-infused butter mixture.
- Carefully integrate sugar, soy sauce, and teriyaki sauce into the noodles, tossing thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly across each strand.
- Enhance the dish with strategic seasoning, sprinkling salt and pepper to elevate the overall taste profile, mixing meticulously to guarantee uniform distribution.
- Remove the skillet from heat and delicately drizzle sesame oil over the noodles, imparting a sophisticated nutty undertone that complements the existing flavors.
- Optionally crown the noodles with a sprinkling of sesame seeds for added texture and visual appeal, then serve immediately while piping hot alongside complementary hibachi proteins or vibrant stir-fried vegetables.
Notes
- Choose firm, thick noodles like udon or lo mein for the best texture and ability to absorb flavors.
- Avoid overcooking garlic to prevent a bitter taste; watch carefully during sautéing.
- Customize the recipe by adding protein like shrimp, chicken, or tofu for a more substantial meal.
- Keep extra soy sauce or teriyaki sauce on hand to adjust seasoning according to personal preference.
