Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 12 ounces stir-fry noodles or spaghetti
- 3 cups water or low-sodium vegetable broth
- ⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1½ cups julienned carrots
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup snap peas or snow peas
- 2 green onions, chopped
Optional Garnishes
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- Chopped cilantro or extra green onions
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce and Vegetables: In a large deep skillet or pot, combine water or vegetable broth, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat to infuse the flavors.
- Add Noodles and Vegetables: Add the noodles, julienned carrots, thinly sliced red bell pepper, and snap peas into the pot. Stir well to make sure the noodles are coated with the sauce and fully submerged in the liquid.
- Cook the Noodles: Reduce the heat to medium and cover the pot. Let the noodles cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed by the noodles and vegetables.
- Thicken the Sauce: Stir in the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) and cook uncovered for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. This will thicken the sauce, giving it a glossy and rich texture.
- Finish and Garnish: Remove the pot from heat. Top the noodles with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Garnish with fresh cilantro or additional green onions if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful one-pot teriyaki noodles.
