- ½ green cabbage, shredded
- 2 carrots, shredded
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ⅔ cup soy sauce
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 16oz spaghetti (1 pound box)
- 3 ½ cups water
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and let it heat until shimmering, which should take about 30 seconds. This ensures even cooking for the vegetables.
- Once the oil is hot, add the shredded cabbage and carrots. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is wilted and the carrots are tender but still vibrant in color.
- Reduce the heat slightly and pour in ⅔ cup of soy sauce and ½ cup of brown sugar. Add ½ teaspoon of ground mustard, 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, and ½ teaspoon of garlic powder. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Next, add 16oz of spaghetti to the pot. You can break the spaghetti in half if you prefer shorter noodles. Pour in 3 ½ cups of water, making sure the noodles are mostly submerged.
- Bring the mixture to a boil uncovered, then lower the heat to a simmer. Cook for 15-18 minutes. As the noodles soften, start stirring every few minutes to prevent sticking. You’ll know they are ready when they are tender yet still slightly al dente.
- Once the noodles are cooked through, remove the pot from heat. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds into the noodles and toss to combine. The sesame seeds will provide a delightful crunch.
- Serve immediately, garnishing with extra sesame seeds and green onions if desired. Enjoy your delicious Teriyaki Noodles while they’re hot!
