EASY Teriyaki Pasta (20 Minutes)
Report
Teriyaki Pasta is a mouthwatering Asian twist on traditional pasta. You only need 20 minutes and 4 ingredients to make this dish with HOMEMADE teriyaki sauce! (You can, of course, use shopbought, but homemade is healthier and so easy!) Spaghetti, regular noodles, penne, fusili etc all work!

Ingredients
- ½ lb dry fusili or dry spaghetti use ⅜ lb if using dry penne pasta. Reserve ¼ cup of pasta cooking water.
- 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter substitute: ghee
- 2 Tablespoons light soy sauce I have tested this with both Chinese and Jpaanese soy sauce (Lee Kum Kee and Kikkoman)
- 2 Tablespoon mirin Sake + sugar do not taste as good if used as a substitute
Optional garnishes
- green onion sliced
- ½ Tablespoon sesame seeds lightly toasted
- 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 Tablespoons Furikake
Instructions
- Cook your pasta till al dente- cook for 1 minute less than the packet states as we will be almost braising the pasta in the sauce later, which will soften it further. (Make sure the pot of pasta water is well salted!) Scoop out the pasta and reserve ¼ cup of pasta water.
- Over medium heat, melt the butter or ghee in a pan.
- IF USING MUSHROOMS: add the sliced mushrooms and saute for 2-3 minutes or till the mushrooms are cooked.
- Add the mirin and light soy sauce and simmer for 30 seconds.
- Reduce the fire to medium-low then add in the pasta as well as 4 Tablespoons (¼ Cup) of the pasta water. Toss till all the pasta is coated with the sauce, and most of it has been absorbed.
- Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds and/ or sesame oil, then enjoy.
