Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Noodles:
- 16 ounces (1 pound) spaghetti
Vegetables:
- ½ green cabbage, shredded
- 2 carrots, shredded
Sauce and Seasonings:
- ⅔ cup soy sauce
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground mustard
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 3 ½ cups water
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Heat a spacious skillet over medium-high temperature, drizzling olive oil to create a glistening surface for sautéing crisp vegetables.
- Introduce shredded cabbage and carrots into the skillet, allowing them to dance and soften for approximately 5 minutes until they transform into tender morsels.
- Elevate the dish’s flavor profile by incorporating soy sauce, brown sugar, ground mustard, ginger, and garlic powder, ensuring each vegetable becomes lavishly coated with the aromatic mixture.
- Gently nestle spaghetti into the vegetable landscape, potentially breaking the noodles into shorter segments for easier manipulation.
- Pour water directly over the ingredients, submerging the noodles completely, and allow them to simmer uncovered for 15-18 minutes.
- Periodically agitate the noodles with a utensil, preventing them from adhering to the skillet’s bottom and promoting even cooking.
- Once noodles reach perfect tenderness and liquid reduces significantly, remove the skillet from heat.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds throughout the dish, introducing a delightful nutty crunch and visual appeal.
- Transfer the teriyaki noodles to serving plates, optionally garnishing with additional sesame seeds and delicately sliced green onions for a fresh finishing touch.
Notes
- Whip up a quick, flavor-packed meal that transforms simple ingredients into a delicious one-pot wonder.
- Sautéing vegetables first builds a rich, aromatic base that infuses the entire dish with deep, satisfying flavors.
- Breaking spaghetti helps it cook evenly and makes the dish easier to serve and eat, creating a perfect weeknight dinner solution.
