Quick & Easy Hibachi Noodles
These quick and easy Hibachi Noodles with Broccoli & Snap Peas are always a family favorite. The noodles are sautéed in butter, garlic, teriyaki sauce and hibachi cooking oil. The top-secret cooking oil used by hibachi chefs is a combination of 4 basic ingredients; sesame oil, olive oil, mirin, and soy sauce. And to balance out all the butter, I add tons of veggies. Life is all about balance, right??
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ cup mirin (sweet rice cooking wine)
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 lb lo mein, spaghetti, or noodle of choice (cooked al dente)
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil

- 3
Heat a cast iron skillet or wok on high heat, so it is very hot. Add the oil until shimmering, add the broccoli, snap peas and salt and cook 2-3 minutes, stirring just until the green color pops, and the broccoli and snap peas still have some crunch. Add ¼ cup of hibachi oil, stir to combine and remove from pan and set aside in a bowl.

Wipe the pan and heat it up again. Add ¼ cup of the hibachi cooking oil, butter, and garlic.
- 5
Sauté the garlic and ginger while the butter melts and until the garlic is tender, about 2-3 minutes. Add the pasta, teriyaki, and mirin. Fry the noodles until they are heated through, turning occasionally, for about 2 minutes.
