Description
A quick and flavorful one-pot teriyaki noodles recipe with cabbage and carrots, perfect for busy weeknights and easy cleanup.
Ingredients
- ½ green cabbage, shredded
- 2 carrots, shredded
- 1 tablespoon oil (neutral oil like olive or vegetable)
- ¼ cup soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pound spaghetti
- 3 ½ cups water
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add shredded cabbage and carrots, and sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Stir in soy sauce, brown sugar, ground mustard, ground ginger, and garlic powder until well combined.
- Break the spaghetti in half and add it to the pot along with 3 ½ cups of water. Bring to a simmer.
- Cook uncovered for 15–18 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. If noodles aren't done and liquid is mostly absorbed, add up to ½ cup more water and continue cooking until noodles are tender and sauce is thickened.
- Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds.
Notes
- Add grilled chicken, tofu, or shrimp for extra protein.
- Swap spaghetti with rice noodles or udon for variety or gluten-free option.
- Add more vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas for color and crunch.
- Spice it up with red pepper flakes or sriracha.
- Use tamari or coconut aminos and gluten-free noodles for a gluten-free version.
