One of my greatest challenges as a vegetarian is stepping outside of my tendency to eat the same dishes. I have a pretty diverse palate, but the busyness of work and parenting can be such that it’s often easier to stick with what’s familiar. Last week, I shared a unique, palate-awakening recipe for Asian Ravioli. This week, I’m sharing an easy Vegetarian Teriyaki Noodles recipe featuring Kikkoman’s Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce.
Asian cuisine is a favorite in our household, and at least once a week my kids will ask me to prepare dishes like our favorite restaurant where the chefs “cook on the table.” While not necessarily complicated, so much of what makes Asian cuisine authentic are the spices and ingredients used during the process. I am a huge proponent of cooking meals from scratch and one way I endeavor to cook up my favorite Asian dishes is to incorporate Kikkoman’s Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce. This simple mixture of soy sauce and spices, with its origins in Japan, can be brushed on meat, tofu and vegetables before cooking to enhance and add flavor. If you are accustomed to the sweeter version you often find in restaurants, simply add fresh ginger, brown sugar, green onions and garlic to this Sauce and then use it to flavor your favorite Asian dishes.
In this Vegetarian Teriyaki Noodles Recipe, I simply sautéed my vegetables in toasted sesame seed oil then tossed brown rice noodles with the Teriyaki Sauce I made and the vegetables.
- 2 tablespoons Kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 4 green onions diced
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons of ginger minced
- 4 ounces of brown rice noodles
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seed oil
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1 cup carrots chopped
- Toasted almond slices
-
Combine Kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce, brown sugar, green onions, garlic and ginger and set aside
-
Sauté snap peas and carrots in toasted sesame seed oil for approximately 5-7 minutes
-
Boil a large pot of water
-
Cook brown rice noodles approximately 5 minutes (do not overcook). Drain.
-
Toss noodles with sautéed vegetables and Teriyaki sauce
-
Top with toasted almond slices
-
Serve immediately
Despite the simplicity of this recipe, the flavors are bold and absolutely palate-pleasing. I absolutely love using ginger in dishes and in combination with green onions, garlic, and brown sugar makes for a sauce that mirrors that which I’ve had in restaurants. You can use this sauce on meats, fish and your favorite vegetables and then grill or bake them for dishes that boast a restaurant-quality look and taste without a lot of time or effort.
This Vegetarian Teriyaki Noodles Recipe can be adapted to include your favorite vegetables and served as a side dish along with your favorite fish. Or add organic tofu for a complete meal!
