Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 oz (170 g) rice noodles (thin or medium-width, dried)
  • 1 cup (150 g) frozen shelled edamame
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (can substitute with canola or avocado oil)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted lightly
  • Optional add-ins: thinly sliced bell peppers, shredded carrots, or bean sprouts

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the rice noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually 4-6 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent clumping. When tender but still firm to the bite, drain in a colander and rinse briefly under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
  2. While the noodles are cooking, steam or boil 1 cup of frozen shelled edamame for 3-4 minutes until tender but still vibrant green. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a dry small skillet over medium heat, toast 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, stirring frequently, for about 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn them! Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In a large skillet or wok, warm 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon sesame oil over medium heat. When shimmering, add 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, but don’t let it brown too much or it will taste bitter.
  5. Add the cooked noodles and edamame to the skillet with garlic. Toss gently to coat them in the oils and garlic aroma.
  6. Pour in 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce. Stir well to evenly coat the noodles and edamame. Cook for 2-3 minutes to warm through and allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
  7. Remove from heat. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the noodle bowl. Give everything a final gentle toss.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

If noodles start sticking during cooking, add a drizzle of sesame oil to keep them separate. Rinse noodles after boiling to stop cooking and maintain texture. Toast sesame seeds lightly to enhance flavor. Use good-quality teriyaki sauce for balanced sweetness and umami. Fresh minced garlic adds the best flavor; add it just before noodles to avoid bitterness.
