Ingredients

  • Linguine or Noodles: 1 lb. cooked al dente. Use your favorite pasta or noodles, but linguine works beautifully here.
  • Butter: 3 tablespoons for that rich, delicious base.
  • Garlic: 1 tablespoon minced, because garlic makes everything better.
  • Sugar: 3 tablespoons to balance the savory flavors with a touch of sweetness.
  • Soy Sauce: 4 tablespoons for that essential umami flavor.
  • Teriyaki Sauce: 1 tablespoon for extra depth and sweetness.
  • Salt and Pepper: To taste, because no dish is complete without seasoning.

How to Make the Recipe

1. Melt the Butter

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. This buttery base is what makes hibachi noodles so rich and flavorful.

2. Add the Garlic

Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until it’s fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic—you just want it to release all that delicious flavor.

3. Add the Noodles

Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and stir to coat them in the buttery garlic mixture. I love how quickly the noodles soak up all that goodness!

4. Incorporate the Sauces

Next, stir in the sugar, soy sauce, and teriyaki sauce. Toss the noodles so that they’re evenly coated in this savory-sweet mixture. The sugar balances out the soy sauce and adds that hint of sweetness you love in hibachi noodles.

5. Season

Add salt and pepper to taste. Keep tossing the noodles so everything gets evenly seasoned.

6. Drizzle with Sesame Oil

Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the sesame oil over the noodles. This is the finishing touch that gives the noodles a nutty, rich flavor. Don’t skip this step—it makes all the difference!

7. Garnish and Serve

For an extra bit of texture and flavor, sprinkle some sesame seeds on top before serving. Serve the noodles hot alongside hibachi-style meats and veggies for the ultimate at-home Japanese steakhouse experience.

How to Serve

  • With Hibachi Meats: Serve these noodles with hibachi-style chicken, steak, or shrimp for a full meal.
  • As a Side: These noodles also make a great side dish for grilled or roasted meats.
  • With Veggies: Pair them with stir-fried veggies like zucchini, mushrooms, or broccoli for a veggie-packed meal.

Make Ahead

  • Fridge: Store any leftover noodles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet with a splash of soy sauce or sesame oil to freshen them up.
  • Freezer: You can freeze these noodles for up to 2 months. Just thaw them in the fridge overnight and reheat before serving.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of noodle?
Absolutely! You can use spaghetti, udon, or any other noodles you have on hand. They all work well with this recipe.

Do I have to use teriyaki sauce?
If you don’t have teriyaki sauce, you can add a little extra soy sauce and a pinch of sugar for a similar flavor.

How do I keep the noodles from sticking?
Make sure to toss the noodles frequently in the skillet and coat them well with the sauce. The butter and sauces will help keep them from sticking together.

These Hibachi Noodles are a must-try if you’re craving those delicious noodles from your favorite Japanese steakhouse. They’re quick, easy, and packed with flavor. Once you try them, you’ll be adding this recipe to your regular dinner rotation. Enjoy!
