Alright, since we are long overdue I’ll get straight to it…

Hibachi Noodles

 

Ingredients

Japanese dried noodles (wound in circles)

1-tablespoon oyster sauce

2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce

8 tablespoons splenda

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons pure sesame oil

1-teaspoon garlic chili

Directions

Cook noodles according to package directions.

In a jar combine the remaining ingredients and shake well to combine.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ½ the sauce to the hot pan, immediately add noodles, add remaining sauce, and toss well for 2 minutes.

Okay, so as always I had to make changes in part because I didn’t have these exact ingredients and also because I didn’t want to disappoint you :)

First, I bought Chinese Noodles aka Chow Mein Noodles because they were what looked best at the store I was in at the time. I’m pretty sure you could get away with any kind of noodle and I may even dare to say regular noodles (spaghetti) but I don’t want to lead you astray. Let’s see, I also used Sugar instead of Splenda because we do not use splenda and instead of Garlic Chili I opted for straight up garlic (2 large cloves per sauce batch) and some Siracha for a kick. Finally, as an unintended change I used toasted sesame oil because even though I went to the store to specifically buy NON toasted sesame oil I came home with toasted. Now before you blame me for not reading the label I did and it said “Natural Sesame Oil” no mention of toasted. Yet, when I poured the oil for the recipe I was like “Wow that’s pretty toasty smelling” so I rechecked the label and then read the ingredients… “Toasted Sesame Oil” – RATS!!

Oh last little change was that I made 1.5 times the sauce since we like our food pretty strong, and boy I’m glad I did!

The end product was goooooood stuff. It actually tasted like we ordered in! Ya – that good. Logan devoured his and said he could eat it again tomorrow. If you are a meat eater I would definitely see pairing this with some sesame beef for example… or you can be a little piggy like us and just eat a large bowl!

*On a side note: if you happen to go to the original location of any recipes, this recipe in particular is being advertised as Vegan-Friendly. I want to point out that this is NOT the case and in fact Oyster Sauce is anything but vegan. Just a heads up in case eating vegan is something you are looking for.
