Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lb. linguine or noodles/pasta of choice, cooked al dente

- 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
- Melt the Butter: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. The butter gives the noodles their rich, savory base.
- Sauté the Garlic: Add minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add the Noodles: Toss the cooked noodles into the skillet, stirring to coat them in the garlic-butter mixture.

- Season: Season the noodles with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
- Drizzle with Sesame Oil: Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle sesame oil over the noodles, adding a delicious nutty flavor.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot, and pair with hibachi-style meats or stir-fried vegetables.
Notes
- Add Veggies: Sauté mushrooms, bell peppers, or zucchini for extra flavor and texture.
- Protein Boost: Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or steak for a more filling meal.
- Spice It Up: A pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha can add a bit of heat.
- Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free noodles and tamari instead of soy sauce to make this dish gluten-free.
