Easy Hibachi Noodles (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 pound cooked yakisoba noodles (or linguine as substitute)

02 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

03 - 4 fresh garlic cloves, finely minced

04 - 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger paste or finely chopped ginger

→ Sauce Components

05 - 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

06 - 1/4 cup packed brown sugar

07 - 1/8 cup warm water

08 - 1 tablespoon pure sesame oil

09 - 1/2 fresh lemon, juiced

→ Garnish

10 - 2-3 fresh scallion stalks, finely chopped

11 - Pinch of sea salt

# Instructions:

01 - Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium flame and add the butter, allowing it to melt completely. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic, ginger paste, and a generous pinch of salt. Let this fragrant mixture cook gently until the garlic becomes tender and releases its wonderful aroma, which should take about 1 to 3 minutes.

02 - Pour in the soy sauce, brown sugar, and water, stirring everything together. Allow this sweet and savory mixture to bubble and simmer for several minutes until it reduces slightly and develops a glossy, thickened consistency that will coat the noodles beautifully.

03 - Add your pre-cooked noodles to the pan and gently toss them using tongs or a large spoon, making sure every strand gets coated with that delicious sauce. Work carefully to avoid breaking the noodles while ensuring even distribution.

04 - Remove the pan from heat and drizzle the sesame oil over the noodles, followed by a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Sprinkle the chopped scallions on top for a fresh, vibrant finish. Serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.

# Notes:

01 - These noodles pair perfectly with hibachi-style chicken and yum yum sauce for an authentic Japanese steakhouse experience at home.

02 - While yakisoba noodles are traditional, you can easily substitute with linguine, fettuccine, spaghetti, ramen, or udon noodles based on what you have available.

03 - The key to great hibachi noodles is achieving the right balance of salty, sweet, and buttery flavors that complement the garlic and ginger aromatics.
