🙋♀️ FAQ's
Yes it can be, but I suggest you use low sodium soy sauce, to reduce the sodium.
Not at all, so be sure to use teriyaki sauce.
Low sodium soy sauce, brown sugar, fresh ginger root, garlic, sesame seed oil and green onions. It's super simple to make and you probably have all the ingredients in your pantry and fridge right now!
Variations
If you're looking for a meaty meal then by all means use the leftover homemade teriyaki sauce to marinade chicken, shrimp, tofu or beef to top the bowl!
The vegetable add-ins for this salad are endless - edamame, sautéed mushrooms or bok choy, frozen peas, spring onions, thinly sliced bell peppers, grilled zucchini and yellow squash, really you can add whatever you'd like to get all the flavor and crunch you're looking for!
Topping the noodle salad with peanuts, cashews and a handful of toasted sesame seeds really gives it the best crunch and texture! A good dash of hot sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes in the sauce will add some spice.
Noodles are life - you know what I mean?!!! 🤣🤣🤣
If you want to make this more of a pasta salad, add sliced strawberries and mango, diced cucumber and slices of red, yellow or orange bell pepper and serve chilled, YUM!
Or do what I did, serve it just like the recipe - light, simple flavors!
Serving suggestions
This is terrific with anything grilled - bbq Tri Tip, Lemon Pepper Chicken or grilled shrimp. And as I had mentioned earlier, it's perfect as a light lunch or salad for a pool party or cookout.
