Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz (454 g) spaghetti
- ½ green cabbage, shredded
- 2 carrots, shredded
- ⅔ cup (160 ml) soy sauce
- ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp ground mustard
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 3 ½ cups (840 ml) water
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preparation: Heat a spacious skillet over medium-high temperature, coating the surface with olive oil for optimal sautéing of vegetables.
- Vegetable Sauté: Add shredded cabbage and carrots, stirring frequently until they become tender and slightly translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
- Flavor Infusion: Introduce soy sauce, brown sugar, ground mustard, ginger, and garlic powder, thoroughly coating the vegetables with the aromatic seasoning blend.
- Noodle Integration: Break spaghetti into manageable segments and nestle into the vegetable mixture, ensuring even distribution.
- Liquid Addition and Cooking: Pour water over the ingredients, completely submerging the noodles, and simmer uncovered for 15-18 minutes, occasionally stirring to prevent sticking and promote uniform cooking.
- Finishing Touches: Once noodles reach perfect tenderness and liquid significantly reduces, remove from heat and sprinkle sesame seeds generously across the dish.
- Serving: Transfer teriyaki noodles to serving plates, garnishing with additional sesame seeds and finely sliced green onions for a fresh, vibrant presentation.
Notes
- Prep Vegetables Precisely: Shred cabbage and carrots uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Control Liquid Carefully: Monitor water levels during simmering to prevent burning and achieve ideal noodle tenderness without excess moisture.
- Season Strategically: Balance soy sauce, brown sugar, and spices to create a harmonious teriyaki flavor that complements the vegetables and noodles.
- Stir Consistently: Regularly move noodles while cooking to prevent sticking and guarantee equal heat distribution for perfectly cooked pasta.
