I'm excited to share this meal with you today and the toughest part? Deciding if I should call it a noodle bowl or noodle salad... so I opt'd for Teriyaki Noodles and I'm going to let you decide!
Why? Because the first time I made this we grilled some shrimp to top off the bowl and subsequent servings were simply big bowls of noodles. Then I served them cold and I realized these noodles would be fantastic as a salad for a cookout on a hot summer day too. No mayo - perfect for a buffet - so you see? That was my dilemma!
Teriyaki Noodle Bowl - The noodle bowl is mixed with green onions, shredded carrots and snow peas. Topped with sesame seeds and cilantro.
Teriyaki noodles are always a favorite for take out, but do you know how easy they are to make at home? So simple and delicious and definitely a hundred times yummier!
And if you love these, (and I know you will!) make this teriyaki steak marinade with your favorite cut of meat!
Now... I'm not going to lie, this dish isn't completely authentic because I use ... {gasp}.... thin spaghetti noodles. Why? Because I like that I can use whole grain noodles which are high in fiber. So please, use your favorite!
