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

- 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)
Instructions
- Prepare the Butter and Garlic: In a skillet heated over medium-high heat, melt the butter until fully liquefied.
- Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté until it becomes fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.
- Add Cooked Noodles: Toss the cooked linguine noodles into the skillet, stirring well to coat them evenly with the garlic butter mixture.
- Add Flavorings: Stir in the sugar, soy sauce, and teriyaki sauce until all noodles are thoroughly coated with the flavorful sauce blend.
- Season: Adjust seasoning by adding salt and pepper to taste and stir well.
- Finish with Sesame Oil: Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle sesame oil over the noodles, tossing gently to combine for aromatic finish.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top if desired, and serve the hibachi noodles hot for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Cook noodles just until al dente to avoid mushiness when stir-frying.
- Adjust soy and teriyaki sauce based on desired saltiness and sweetness.
- Use any noodles of preference such as udon, ramen, or spaghetti depending on availability.
- Sesame seeds garnish adds texture and nutty flavor but is optional.
- For a protein boost, add grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu alongside noodles.
- Keep garlic sauté time short to prevent bitterness.
