🥘 Ingredients
You can find all the ingredients for these noodles, plus the teriyaki sauce, in your local grocery store. Yakisoba or Hokkien noodles are typically found in the Asian food aisle.
- Stir Fry Noodles – Yakisoba and Hokkien noodles are both Asian style noodles that are commonly used in Chinese and Japanese dishes.
- Cooking Oil – Canola oil is preferred because of its higher smoke point which makes it ideal for stir-frying the noodles. Vegetable oil is a good substitute.
- Ground Ginger - Ginger is a common flavor used in Asian cuisine. Ground ginger is located next to the other seasonings on the baking aisle; it is also available as a paste in the produce section.
- Teriyaki Sauce – See my recipe to make your own teriyaki sauce. It's super easy, and the consistency and flavor are much better than store-bought sauce.
- Green Onion – Sliced green onions are used for garnish, but also add a nice touch of flavor to the final dish.
- Sesame Seeds – White or black sesame seeds are commonly used to garnish Asian dishes. I love sprinkling them on top just before serving for that final restaurant-quality dish!
📖 Variations
Add Protein - Add any protein of choice, such as chicken, pork, steak, shrimp, or even tofu – to make these noodles into a full meal. Cook protein separately and then add to the noodles once they are cooked.
Add Veggies – Add any vegetables that you enjoy, to add some additional flavor, texture, and nutrition. You can add veggies in addition to protein or keep it completely vegetarian. Some of my favorite vegetables to include are broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, bell peppers (red, green, orange, yellow), snow peas, baby corn (canned), water chestnuts.
Cooking veggies with noodles: Use 1-2 Tablespoons of oil to cook the veggies first. Heat up oil, and when it is hot, toss chopped vegetables into the pan. Cook for a few minutes until vegetables begin to soften. Alternatively, veggies can be lightly steamed then tossed with the noodles to finish with the teriyaki sauce.
🧂 Substitutions
Rice Noodles – both Yakisoba and Hokkien noodles are made with wheat flour. To make gluten-free noodles, use rice noodles as a substitute.
Pasta in a Pinch – I love using traditional Asian noodles for this dish, but in a pinch any other long pasta will work! I have used spaghetti noodles, linguine noodles, and even angel hair pasta - and they are still super tasty!
🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions
The key to this dish is making sure you have allowed the oil to heat up before adding the noodles. Pay attention to step 3 to make sure oil is ready before adding the noodles.
- Prepare noodles. Prepare 14-ounces of stir fry noodles as instructed on package or cook pasta noodles in salted water to an al dente texture, typically 1-2 minutes shy of the time in the package instructions. Rinse and drain pasta if needed, then set aside.
- Heat the oil. Heat a wok, large skillet, or non-stick frying pan to medium-high with 2 tablespoons of cooking oil.
- Stir fry the noodles. Once the oil is shimmering and just beginning to smoke add prepared noodles or pasta and fry for 1-2 minutes until slightly crisped and golden.
- Add sauce and seasoning. Portion ½ cup of teriyaki sauce and a sprinkle ¼ teaspoon of ground ginger into the noodles. Then, stir to coat evenly and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Serve. Remove from heat when done and serve immediately with optional garnish (sliced green onion and sesame seeds).
If you are going to add any additional protein or veggies, toss them in the pan and stir around to coat in the teriyaki sauce before serving.
Letting everyone make their own noodle bowls? Leave the noodles on the stove covered with a lid to keep warm in between each person filling up their bowl. Enjoy!
💭 Tips & Recipe Notes
Start with a fully heated wok, skillet, or frying pan.
- Make sure the oil is sizzling hot before starting too.
Problems finding the yakisoba noodles?
- I used to be able to find yakisoba noodles in 2-packs like the hokkien noodles (used here) that I have been finding in the Asian section at my local Walmart. Either will work splendidly.
- You can also order noodles online through Walmart or Amazon.
- I've also noted the best long pasta to use in place of stir-fry noodles.
The homemade teriyaki sauce is a key ingredient to these noodles!
- This easy teriyaki sauce is a little bit thicker than what you will find in the store, which allows it to really coat the noodles and provide exceptional taste.
- Each batch makes about 2 cups and you only need a ½ cup for this recipe, so you can make a big batch of sauce and have on hand for other recipes.
🥡 Storing & Reheating
Teriyaki Noodles make for great leftovers! Simply put leftovers into a bowl or plastic airtight container and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Noodles can be saved for up to 5 days if properly refrigerated.
Reheating Teriyaki Noodles
I prefer to reheat noodles in the wok or skillet. Add just a little bit of oil (about 1 teaspoon) to coat the pan and keep noodles from sticking. Once oil is heated, add cold noodles, and stir until evenly heated.
