Print Recipe

This dish combines tender beef strips with vibrant vegetables and a homemade teriyaki sauce for a delightful meal. It’s quick to prepare and perfect for a family dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. You’ll know it’s ready when the oil shimmers. This step is crucial to prevent the vegetables from sticking.
  2. Add the shredded cabbage and carrots to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The veggies should soften and turn vibrant in color without browning. Avoid overcooking to retain some crunch.
  3. Next, pour in ⅔ cup of soy sauce, ½ cup of brown sugar, ½ teaspoon of ground mustard, 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, and ½ teaspoon of garlic powder. Stir well to combine, ensuring the sugar dissolves completely.
  4. Add 16oz of spaghetti directly to the pot. You can break the spaghetti in half for easier stirring, but it’s not necessary. Then, pour in 3 ½ cups of water, ensuring the noodles are fully submerged.
  5. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook uncovered for 15-18 minutes. Stir the pot every few minutes to prevent the noodles from sticking to the bottom. You’ll know it’s done when the noodles are tender and easily bendable.
  6. Once cooked through, remove the pot from the heat. Toss in 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds, mixing thoroughly to distribute them evenly. This adds a delightful crunch!
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with extra sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Enjoy the beautiful presentation of your Teriyaki Noodles!

Keywords: Don’t skip the sautéing step for the vegetables; it enhances their natural sweetness and adds depth to the dish. Use a large enough pot to allow the noodles to move freely while cooking; this prevents them from clumping together.
