Easy Teriyaki Noodles
Easy Teriyaki Noodles combine linguine pasta with a homemade teriyaki-style sauce made from soy sauce, garlic, fresh grated ginger, sweetener, and rice vinegar. Cooked carrots and green beans add texture and color, while cilantro brings a fresh herbal note. The dish is tossed with sauce to absorb flavors and cooked just enough to soften the vegetables and integrate the ingredients, creating a balanced noodle dish with sweet, salty, and tangy elements.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces linguine
- 4 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 tablespoon ginger fresh grated
- ½ cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons sweetener I used a mayple syrup agave blend) OR brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 2 medium carrot
- ½ cup green beans chopped or verts
- ½ cup cilantro chopped
- pinto beans Optional - add beans to make it more filling, I like
Instructions
- Cook linguine according to the package
- While that cooks prepare the sauce by combining the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sweetener, and rice vinegar in a small bowl and mix.
- Chop carrots into small matchsticks and cook with green beans until they soften a little bit (Add beans here if using)
- When the pasta is done, drain it and put it back in the pot. Add in veggies and HALF the sauce. If you're not going to eat it right away you'll need the extra sauce because it absorbs into the noodles. So save the other half for when you're ready to eat it. Cook it just a bit to take some of the bites out of the raw garlic. Toss in cilantro once removed from heat.
Notes
- Use a wok if possible to achieve even heating and slightly crispy noodles.
- Taste the sauce mixture before combining, adjusting sweetener or soy sauce to balance sweetness and saltiness to your preference.
- Cook noodles until al dente, as they will soften more when mixed with sauce and vegetables.
