Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb 450g noodles (linguine, yakisoba, or spaghetti)
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons sugar or honey
  • 1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce optional
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Optional Add-Ins

  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish

Optional Protein & Vegetables

  • Cooked chicken shrimp, beef, or tofu
  • Sliced carrots bell peppers, mushrooms, or cabbage

Instructions
 

Step 1: Cook the Noodles

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles until al dente. Drain and set aside. Lightly toss with oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Sauce

  • In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, sugar, and teriyaki sauce. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.

Step 3: Heat the Pan

  • Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add butter and let it melt completely.

Step 4: Saute Garlic

  • Add minced garlic (and ginger if using). Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, but not browned.

Step 5: Add Noodles

  • Add the cooked noodles to the pan and toss well to coat them in the butter and garlic.

Step 6: Add Sauce

  • Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles. Toss continuously so every strand is evenly coated. Let it cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly caramelised.

Step 7: Finish with Sesame Oil

  • Drizzle sesame oil over the noodles and toss again for that signature nutty flavour.

Step 8: Garnish & Serve

  • Top with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Don’t overcook the noodles: Slightly undercook them as they will cook more in the pan.
  • High heat is key: This helps achieve the authentic hibachi-style flavour.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat in a pan with a splash of water or soy sauce to restore moisture.
  • Variations: Add protein like chicken or shrimp for a complete meal, or increase vegetables for a healthier version.
  • Health Tip: Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content.
