Ingredients

For the Noodles

• 1 lb linguine or your choice of noodles, cooked al dente
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, adds flavor and prevents burning)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar (gives that hibachi sweetness)
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional but highly recommended)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• Salt & black pepper, to taste
• 1–2 teaspoons sesame seeds (optional)
• 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions (Long, Detailed Version)

1. Cook the Noodles

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
2. Add your linguine (or noodles of your choice) and cook until al dente—tender but still slightly firm.
3. Drain the noodles and set aside.
4. Drizzle lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
   Using al dente noodles helps them hold up better when tossed in the sauce.2. Prepare the Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together:

• Soy sauce
• Teriyaki sauce
• Brown sugar
• Oyster sauce (optional)
• Sesame oil

Mix until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.
This sauce is the key to getting that hibachi flavor you taste at Japanese steakhouses.

3. Sauté the Garlic

1. Heat a large skillet, wok, or hibachi griddle to medium heat.
2. Melt the butter along with the olive oil (oil prevents the butter from burning).
3. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30–45 seconds until fragrant.
   Do not let the garlic brown—it can turn bitter.

4. Add the Noodles

Add the cooked noodles directly into the skillet.
Use tongs to toss and coat the noodles with the butter and garlic mixture.

5. Pour the Sauce

1. Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles.
2. Toss continuously for 2–3 minutes to ensure the noodles absorb all the flavors.
3. Season with black pepper and taste for salt.
4. Cook until the sauce slightly thickens and coats the noodles beautifully.

6. Finish & Serve

Turn off the heat.
Sprinkle:

• Green onions
• Sesame seeds

Serve immediately as a side or add protein on top for a full hibachi meal.

Tips for Authentic Flavor

• Butter is essential — hibachi restaurants use lots of it.
• Use oyster sauce if you want that real steakhouse taste.
• Cook noodles al dente so they don’t turn mushy when stir-fried.
• A hot pan = better flavor — it helps the noodles caramelize slightly.
