Teriyaki Noodle Bowls
Teriyaki Noodle Bowls feature buckwheat soba noodles and stir-fried vegetables coated in a homemade teriyaki sauce made from soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and toasted sesame oil thickened with cornstarch. The sauce provides a balance of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors with a hint of spice, enhancing the textures of tender noodles and crisp-tender vegetables.
Ingredients
Teriyaki Sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce $0.39
- 2 Tbsp rice vinegar $0.23
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar $0.03
- 1/4 tsp sesame oil $0.05, toasted
- 2 cloves garlic $0.16, minced
- 2 inches fresh ginger $0.21, grated
- pinch red pepper flakes $0.02, optional
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch $0.04
- 2 Tbsp water $0.00
Noodles & Vegetables
- 1 lb. stir fry vegetables $1.57, frozen
- 8 oz. buckwheat soba noodles $3.69
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil $0.02
Instructions
- Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, toasted sesame oil, red pepper flakes, corn starch, and water to a bowl. Peel the ginger and then grate it straight into the bowl using a small holed cheese grater. If you don't have a grater, you can mince the ginger. Mince the garlic and add it to the bowl as well. Stir to combine the ingredients.
- Bring a medium pot of water up to a boil over high heat, add the noodles, and then continue to boil for 5-6 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Drain the noodles in a colander.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the frozen vegetables. Stir and cook for only about 2 minutes, just to slightly heat the vegetables. Briefly stir the teriyaki sauce and then pour it into the skillet. Allow it to come up to a simmer, at which point it will thicken. The vegetables will finish heating through as this happens. Turn the heat off once the sauce is hot and thick.
- Add the drained noodles to the skillet and stir until they are coated in the sauce. Divide the noodles between four bowls and then spoon any leftover vegetables from the skillet on top. Enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust soy sauce amount to taste; a slightly stronger sauce before combining with noodles ensures balanced flavor after mixing.
- Grated fresh ginger in the sauce is more effective than minced if you want a pronounced ginger note.
