Description
This Easy One-Pot Teriyaki Noodles Recipe is a quick 28-minute vegetarian dinner made with tender spaghetti, cabbage, carrots, and a sweet-savory homemade teriyaki sauce—all cooked in one pot for easy cleanup.
Ingredients
½ green cabbage, shredded
2 carrots, shredded
1 teaspoon olive oil
⅔ cup soy sauce
½ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon garlic powder
16 oz spaghetti (1 pound)
3 ½ cups water
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Optional: sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil.
Add shredded cabbage and carrots. Sauté for about 5 minutes until slightly tender.
Stir in soy sauce, brown sugar, ground mustard, ginger, and garlic powder. Mix well.
Add spaghetti to the pot (break in half if desired). Pour in 3 ½ cups of water.
Cook uncovered for 15–18 minutes. Once noodles soften, stir every few minutes to prevent sticking.
If liquid reduces before noodles are tender, add ½ cup water and continue cooking.
Remove from heat once noodles are cooked and sauce has thickened.
Stir in sesame seeds. Serve immediately and garnish with green onions if desired.
Notes
Different pasta brands absorb water differently. Add extra water if needed.
Napa cabbage can be substituted for green cabbage.
To reheat leftovers, sprinkle a little water over noodles before microwaving to prevent drying out.
Add tofu, edamame, or chicken for extra protein.
