15 Minute Teriyaki Noodles with Vegetables

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles. Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Mix the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, honey or brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, cornstarch, and water.
  3. Heat the pan. Add oil to a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  4. Cook the vegetables. Add broccoli, carrots, bell pepper, snap peas, and any extra vegetables. Stir-fry for 3 to 5 minutes until crisp-tender.
  5. Add the noodles. Add cooked noodles to the skillet and toss with the vegetables.
  6. Add teriyaki sauce. Pour the sauce over the noodles and toss quickly.
  7. Let it thicken. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce becomes glossy and coats the noodles.
  8. Finish the dish. Add green onions and sesame seeds.
  9. Serve warm. Serve immediately with extra sesame seeds, chili flakes, sriracha, or lime if desired.
Pro Tip: Keep the heat high enough so the vegetables stir-fry quickly. This keeps them colorful, crisp, and fresh.
Protein Tip: To add chicken, shrimp, or tofu, cook it first, remove it from the pan, then add it back when tossing the noodles with sauce.

Healthy Tips & Daily Wellness

These teriyaki noodles can be a balanced quick dinner when you add plenty of vegetables and choose a protein that fits your meal.

For more vegetables, add broccoli, cabbage, mushrooms, zucchini, spinach, bell peppers, edamame, snap peas, carrots, or frozen stir-fry vegetables.

For more protein, add tofu, chicken, shrimp, edamame, eggs, or tempeh. If using chicken, cook it to 165°F. If using shrimp, cook until pink, opaque, and firm.

For a lighter version, use more vegetables and fewer noodles, or swap part of the noodles with zucchini noodles, cabbage ribbons, or cauliflower rice.
