🙋‍♀️ FAQ's

Is Teriyaki salty?

Yes it can be, but I suggest you use low sodium soy sauce, to reduce the sodium.

Is hoisin sauce the same as teriyaki sauce?

Not at all, so be sure to use teriyaki sauce.

What is teriyaki sauce made of?

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!

What is teriyaki sauce used for?

Teriyaki is great for noodles, chicken, steak, seafood, fish and even tofu. It's also terrific for dipping potstickers.

What kind of noodles for best for teriyaki noodles?

Traditionally udon noodles, ramen or rice noodles.

Variations

If you're looking for a meaty meal then by all means use the leftover homemade teriyaki sauce to marinade a protein. Chicken breast or chicken thighs, shrimp, tofu or beef are terrific with this teriyaki noodle bowl if you're looking for extra protein.

The vegetable add-ins for this salad are endless, you can use a variety of fresh vegetables - edamame, sautéed mushrooms or bok choy, frozen peas, spring onions, thinly sliced bell peppers, beans sprouts, grilled zucchini and yellow squash.

Really you can add your favorite veggies. Whatever you enjoy most 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 cold teriyaki noodle salad. It's perfect for a pool party or cookout.

    This recipe is wonderful! Low-calorie, with veggies, and so easy to make! My family loves Chinese food, but what you get in a restaurant isn't always healthy! I'm making this for them instead! 🙂 Thanks!
