    Quick and easy Hibachi Noodles are the perfect base for piling on deliciously grilled meats and vegetables

    Hibachi Noodles are an easy-to-make Hibachi dish that's always a family favorite! They're incredibly delicious when cooked to perfection at home! Sear these tasty noodles off using a grill top griddle after cooking your meats so that the noodles pick up that 'just grilled' taste from your hibachi chicken, beef, or seafood!!

    Best Hibachi Noodles Recipe

    If you don't know just how addictive these grilled Hibachi Noodles are yet, you really are missing out! I'm a big pasta fan anyway, but hibachi noodles are extra special coming straight off a grill and coated in a rich, buttery, silky smooth sauce flavored with soy and teriyaki sauce. Plus a drizzle of my favorite addition, mirin.

    The cooking experience is one of the most memorable parts of dining at a Japanese steakhouse, but the next best thing is making these hibachi fried noodles at home!

    If you love hibachi teppanyaki cooking, try my other amazing Japanese steakhouse recipes! Hearty hibachi steak and shrimp, hibachi fried vegetables, yum yum sauce, and more!

    Make your homemade hibachi noodles a meal by grilling your favorite vegetables and a protein, then tossing with the noodles for a loaded noodle bowl! My family's hibachi grilling night usually includes either these perfect grilled noodles or hibachi fried rice, plus some hibachi vegetables and one of the three staples here in our home (steak, chicken, pork, or shrimp).

    We love our dipping sauces too, so it's always a debate between yum yum sauce, creamy mustard sauce (best served with hibachi chicken, pork, and/or beef), and ginger sauce (best served with seafood and/or vegetables).

    ❔ What Are Hibachi Noodles?

    Hibachi noodles are those fabulous soft, fried garlic noodles served at Japanese steakhouse restaurants like Benihana, Kyoto, and Kobe (as well as MANY other local hibachi and teppanyaki-style Japanese restaurants where the foods are grilled tableside).

    The noodles (or rice, or vegetables) are cooked near your desired protein on the grill which picks up some of the flavors and meat juices from cooking on the same grill!

    🥘 Hibachi Noodles Ingredients

    • Yakisoba, Lo Mein, or Angel Hair Pasta - (see additional notes below on traditional Japanese noodles used for hibachi cooking)
    • Sesame Seed Oil - used to coat the noodles after draining and in the hibachi cooking oil blend.
    • Fresh Ground Black Pepper - a couple turns of your grinder for freshly ground pepper, otherwise just a pinch of ground pepper.
    • Hibachi Cooking Oil - (see Hibachi Cooking Oil section below) the primary sauce used to fry up the noodles.
    • Butter - unsalted would work best, but since I never have unsalted on hand I just hold off on adding additional soy sauce or salting my noodles.
    • Garlic - finely minced garlic that will be sauteed in the butter before adding the noodles.
    • Ginger - finely minced ginger that will be sauteed in the butter before adding the noodles.
    • Teriyaki - part of the final flavor of your hibachi noodles. Add more to taste if desired.
    • Mirin - (optional - but I love and highly recommend it! Mirin can be found in the Asian section at many grocery stores). Use a pinch of sugar for sweetness if you don't have mirin on hand.
    • Sesame Seeds - optional, for garnish when serving.

    🥢 Ingredients & Making Your Hibachi Cooking Oil

    The base cooking oil used by hibachi chefs combines 4 basic ingredients. Hibachi cooking oil is made with sesame seed oil, olive oil, rice cooking wine, and soy sauce.

    Combine the oils, rice cooking wine, and soy sauce in a sealable container such as a jar or squeeze bottle for easy storage and use. Shake to combine before using.

    If you don't have sesame oil, you can read about the best sesame seed oil substitutes in my guide here!

    🔪 How To Make Hibachi Noodles

    Cook your chosen pasta noodles until al denté in texture. Drain and rinse, then drizzle with sesame seed oil. Season with a few turns of your fresh black pepper grinder (or a pinch of ground pepper) and toss the noodles to coat evenly. Set aside.

    Fry The Noodles

    1. Heat. Bring the wok or a large frying pan to medium heat. Add ¼ cup of the hibachi cooking oil, butter, garlic, and ginger.
    2. Fry. Sauté the garlic and ginger while the butter melts 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.
    3. Serve. Use additional hibachi cooking oil as needed, then sprinkle with sesame seeds when serving.

    After working through preparing many servings of my hibachi noodles, I am finally sharing my best recipe! This is as close as I have gotten to 'authentic' hibachi noodles, authentic in this case being as close to my favorite Japanese steakhouse's just-fried noodles.

    Amazingly tasty fried noodles are super easy to make.

    🍜 What Kinds Of Noodles Are Best For Hibachi Grilling?

    Note that there is no one actual 'hibachi noodle' that you can purchase. The name 'hibachi noodle' comes from the style of cooking that is seen, usually cooked with quite a bit of flair displayed by the chefs (we had a chicken shape made out of egg for our daughter, that was chopped up and added to the hibachi rice).

    • Yakisoba - (meaning 'fried buckwheat' and referring to the Chinese noodle chūkamen, which is not technically a true Soba noodle) are the noodles you see in the photos used here.
    • Harusame - clear, glass noodles based on mung bean starch.
    • Somen - thick, white noodles that are wheat-based and hand-pulled.
    • Udon - thick, white noodles made from buckwheat flour most known for being served in the fish and kelp-based broth, dashi.
    • Soba - pale yellow noodles made from wheat flour and buckwheat.
    • Ramen - pale yellow noodles made from eggs, wheat, and Kansai (mineral-rich water that lends to the color of these noodles).
    • Rice - gluten-free white noodles made of rice.
    • Shirataki - clear, chewy noodles made from konnyaku.
    • Hiyamugi - white, wheat-based noodles that are similar to udon or somen noodles.
    • Tokoroten - clear, jelly-like noodles made of kanten gelatin from Japanese (ogonori) red seaweed.

    Chinese Lo Mein noodles are a good substitute that is typically easy to find. Also, standard kinds of pasta such as Spaghetti, Linguine, and Angel Hair pasta can also be used.

    With all these tasty additions to your homemade hibachi noodles, you can make the best homemade hibachi meals!!

    🥡 Storing & Reheating

    Refrigerate unused hibachi noodles in an airtight container for up to 3 days. They are best used within the first day or two, so I don't recommend serving them after 2 days of being refrigerated.

    Reheating Leftover Hibachi Noodles

    A quick stovetop heating is the best way to reheat your hibachi noodles (as well as pretty much any take-out or homemade Chinese or Japanese-style foods).

    Heat a large skillet or wok on high heat, use a touch of my hibachi cooking oil, and turn noodles for about 2 minutes or until heated through completely.

    ❓ FAQ

    What Is A Hibachi?

    A hibachi is a Japanese grill called a shichirin. It is a small, portable barbecue grill typically made with cast iron. Foods are cooked on a grate over an open flame, commonly with charcoal as the heat source. U.S. hibachis are made for indoor cooking, so they will often times have an electric heating source rather than an open flame.

    What's The Difference Between Hibachi and Teppanyaki Style Cooking?

    If hibachi grilling is done over a grate, what cooking style is done at the Japanese steakhouses we all love?? The iron griddle flat cooking surface, also done over an open flame (most commonly fueled with propane) is actually teppanyaki-style cooking.
    Both styles grill food over an open flame, but hibachi grilling is done over a grate surface and teppanyaki grilling is done on a griddle surface.

    What Type Of Noodles Are Used For Hibachi Noodles?

    When thinking of the tasty hibachi noodles made at your local restaurant, the most commonly used noodles are yakisoba noodles. Soba, ramen, udon, and somen noodles are all great choices for making restaurant-style hibachi noodles.

        I usually serve mine with some more teriyaki sauce, but you can also use my stir-fry sauce to make the noodles. Other ideas to add would be a touch of hoisin sauce, that sweet chili sauce, chili paste, Yoshida's brand teriyaki sauce, or a tiny bit of sriracha for heat.

      These were a hit! I too couldn’t find the rice cooking oil, all sold out in every store I went! But they were still amazing.
      Question- I’m headed to a beach house so I’m trying to prepare everything in advance with leds prep work. Is there any way I can make the sauce, refrigerate it and then heat it up while I’m there, cook the noodles then toss? Would save so much time measuring and cooking for me!

        Definitely make the sauce and chill it, then store it until ready to use over your beach trip. Enjoy!!
        -edited to add, that your sauce will warm when tossed with fried noodles. 🙂

      This recipe was fantastic! I omitted the rice cooking wine as I didn't have any. I made the noodles 2 hours ahead of time and stored them in the fridge. Then cooked them in a skillet with a tad more soy sauce after we cooked our chicken&veggies to add in. Then tossed everything together. The noodles tasted like our Hibachi grill in town! They were delicious! I'm saving this recipe, for sure!

          The best substitute is another Asian cooking wine (Shaoxing Wine) or cooking Sherry or another dry white wine, or omit it entirely. Hope that helps!

        Hello Amanda, since the 4 hibachi cooking oil ingredients are all long-lasting when stored you can easily store your oil in the refrigerator. I usually use mine within a couple of weeks, but would say that 2-3 months refrigerated in a sealed container is a safe storage time. Hope that helps and thanks for asking!

        Hello Amber! No, the rice cooking wine and rice vinegar are different in flavor and the vinegar will add an acidic flavor. The best substitute is another Asian cooking wine (Shaoxing Wine) or cooking Sherry or another dry white wine.
