🤔 FAQs
These are the questions we are most frequently asked about making this Easy Teriyaki Noodles with Shrimp.
Traditional Japanese teriyaki sauce is made from a blend of soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sake which results in its characteristic tangy flavor. Westernized versions include honey, garlic, and ginger, and cornstarch is frequently added to thicken the sauce.
Teriyaki noodles are a complete meal as is, but you can pair them with beef and broccoli, spring rolls, and black pepper tofu. You could also opt for a traditional dish like curried cauliflower or fried rice.
The flavor of Teriyaki Sauce is a harmonious blend of savory, sweet, and salty, making it a great marinade for meat and fish. Some say that it tastes like a mixture of soy sauce and honey, which is a reasonably accurate characterization of its taste.
Teriyaki food that includes grilled or stir-fried meats, vegetables, whole grain noodles, or rice can be part of a healthy diet. However, the added sugar in teriyaki sauce and the oil used for cooking can increase the calorie and fat content of the dish.
👩🏻🍳 Tips
- To enhance the flavor of the shrimp, consider marinating them in a mixture of teriyaki sauce, garlic, ginger, and green onions for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- To ensure that the shrimp are juicy and tender, cook them quickly over high heat in a little oil until they turn pink and opaque.
- To ensure that the noodles have the perfect texture, cook them until they are al dente, which means they should be firm to the bite but not mushy.
- Use a high-quality teriyaki sauce for bold flavors in the noodles and the shrimp. You can also make your own teriyaki sauce by combining soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar.
- To make the dish sweeter or saltier, adjust the teriyaki sauce accordingly. You can also add a little cornstarch to the sauce to thicken it if desired.
- Add a fresh flavor and color to this dish by topping it with chopped green onions and cilantro or basil before serving.
