👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce

1. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Stir to combine until the honey is fully dissolved into the sauce mixture.
2. (Optional) If you prefer a thicker sauce, dissolve the cornstarch in a small amount of water and add it to the sauce mixture. This will help thicken the sauce as it simmers.

Step 2: Cook the Noodles

1. In a large pot, add 600ml of water and bring it to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain the noodles and set them aside. Be sure to reserve about ¼ cup of the cooking water to add to the sauce if needed.

Step 3: Cook the Protein (Optional)

1. If using chicken or tofu, heat a small amount of oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken or tofu and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes for chicken or 3-5 minutes for tofu. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 4: Combine the Noodles, Sauce, and Vegetables

1. In the same pot (no need to dirty another pan!), add the teriyaki sauce. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Add the cooked noodles, bell pepper, carrot, and any additional vegetables you're using.
2. Toss the noodles and vegetables in the sauce, allowing the noodles to absorb all of the teriyaki sauce for about 3-5 minutes. If the sauce is too thick, you can add some of the reserved noodle cooking water to loosen it up.
3. Once everything is well-coated and heated through, return the cooked chicken or tofu to the pot and stir to combine.

Step 5: Serve

1. Divide the noodles among serving bowls. Garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and any additional vegetables you’d like.
2. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious one-pot teriyaki noodles!

🌟 From the Chef – A Personal Touch

I love this recipe because it’s so versatile and quick to make. The balance of savory soy sauce, sweet honey, and the aromatic ginger and garlic in the sauce creates a flavor explosion that pairs perfectly with the tender noodles. I also love that you can customize it to suit your tastes by adding different proteins or vegetables, depending on what’s in season or what you have in your fridge.

When I’m in a rush, this is one of my go-to meals. The fact that it’s all cooked in one pot makes it even better—no need to wash multiple pans after a delicious meal. It’s perfect for both busy weeknights and relaxed weekends when you want something comforting but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen.
