Ingredients
Converted amounts are rounded.
Method
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles until al dente, following the package instructions. Drain and rinse well to remove excess starch. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil, onion, and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender, about 4 to 6 minutes.
- Add the remaining vegetables and cook until they are tender and caramelized on the edges, stirring every minute or two. This will take about 10 to 15 minutes due to the volume.
- Once the vegetables are done, add the noodles and ½ cup teriyaki sauce to the pan. Stir to combine and cook just until everything is warmed through, about 1 minute. Add more sauce if you prefer extra-saucy noodles.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Drizzle with toasted sesame oil to taste (a little goes a long way; use tongs to toss if needed). Sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
- Serve the noodles in bowls, topped with sliced green onion and a little extra sesame seeds. Leftovers keep well, covered and refrigerated, for up to 4 days.
💡 Tips
- Use a mix of colorful vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas for a vibrant dish.
- If using gluten-free noodles, check the sauce label to ensure it's gluten-free.
- To make it vegan, verify that your teriyaki sauce is vegan-friendly.
