I’m a huge fan of anything teriyaki, and these 20-minute teriyaki noodles are no exception! They’re super quick, easy, and full of flavor. My favourite noodle to use is ramen, but honestly, you can pair this sauce with just about anything.

Whether you’re adding chicken, steak bites, or just a mix of vegetables, this homemade teriyaki sauce brings everything together with the perfect balance of sweet and savory.

One of the things I love most about this dish is its versatility. You can load up on veggies like steamed broccoli, carrots, cabbage, or even shredded carrots and broccoli florets.

Don’t be shy—go ahead and mix in whatever vegetables you have on hand! The sauce has a great consistency that coats everything nicely, making each bite delicious.

This bowl of teriyaki noodles works as a side dish or even a quick snack. But if you want to make it a full meal, just add some protein like chicken, beef, shrimp, tofu, or salmon.

Can I Add Protein To The Teriyaki Noodles?

Yes, you can easily add protein to your Teriyaki Noodles. Popular options include chicken, shrimp, beef, or tofu. Simply cook the protein separately or with the vegetables, then toss it into the noodles along with the teriyaki sauce. This makes the dish more filling and adds extra flavor.

Can I Use A Different Type Of Noodle?

Absolutely! While this recipe might call for specific noodles like lo mein or soba, you can substitute with other types such as spaghetti, rice noodles, or even zucchini noodles for a low-carb option. Just make sure to cook the noodles according to their package instructions before mixing them with the sauce.

How Do I Store And Reheat Leftover Teriyaki Noodles?

To store leftover Teriyaki Noodles, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, you can use a microwave or a skillet. If the noodles seem dry, add a splash of water or extra teriyaki sauce to restore moisture as you warm them up.
