After trying out a recipe for Hibachi rice with yum yum sauce, we’ll be continuing the hibachi experience. So today we’re making some Hibachi noodles. Keep in mind, I’m basing this off what my eyes told me after countless Hibachi dinners, so it might not be 100% accurate and different hibachi places might have some variations.

After several trips over many years, I’ve come to realize what makes the noodles so addictive and special. The butter. There’s just tons of it. And this makes for the creamiest Asian-inspired noodle dish you can eat.

Bad for you I know. But once in awhile, let’s indulge. Hibachi rice with yum yum sauce was a popular post for me back when the blog was first starting out and I couldn’t figure out why other stuff wasn’t doing as well.

Now I get it. People love the food and want to try saving money by making their favorite parts at home. So if the noodles are your favorite part about hibachi, let’s start!

How To Make Hibachi Noodles (1 Min Video)

It seems deceptively easy but who knows. I know there’s copious amounts of butter and then some garlic. Then in went the linguine (I’m not sure what noodles they use at your Hibachi place but at Kobe’s Japanese Steakhouse it looks suspiciously like linguine…small in width but not as wide as rice noodles and flat) and some thin, watery black sauce that looks suspiciously like soy sauce but isn’t as salty. Or maybe the saltiness is balanced out by the sugar that follows.

I’m beginning to suspect that black sauce is a mixture of some kind; soy sauce and maybe something with teriyaki sauce elements. When someone asked at my table, they said it was Coca-Cola. Uh-huh, Back to the cooking: sugar, salt and pepper and more mixing and finally it’s heaped onto everyone’s plate and topped with sesame seeds. And if you want to give it some kick, toss in a few red pepper flakes.

Well, that’s my take anyway. If you know any better or if you are/were a Hibachi chef in training and don’t mind divulging the secrets, I’m all ears. Give it to me! For now, this is the best I can do. Since I don’t have those fancy grill thingies they have at hibachi places, I cooked mine in a wok big enough to handle the mixing of the noodles. You won’t get the slightly charred and mixed flavor from all food being cooked in one place (rice, meat, noodles) but it works.

Simple. Delicious noodles.

    Is it necessary to use sesame oil? Or is there an alternative?

      Not at all. If you don’t like it or can’t find it, just leave it out! Sesame oil is a finishing oil that just adds a little smoky taste. Leaving it out will not break the recipe.

      I just use the regular Kikkoman brand of teriyaki sauce, nothing special. Hope you enjoy the recipe if you end up trying it!

    Sooo easy and sooo yummy. I heated up a bag of Tysons Asian grilled and ready chicken and combined it with the noodles. It was a delicious combo. My 17 year old very picky son even loved these noodles. He has requested I make them again tonight to have with leftover pork loin. The only thing I did different was I added another tablespoon (or 2) of butter. Thank you for this recipe. Its a new fave and better than what you get in a restaurant!

    Can you substitute honey for the sugar, and if so, how much? I made this a few months ago and it’s great! But I wanted to cut down on the sugar content. Thinking honey would be a bit healthier, but maybe too sweet. Otherwise, it’s a yummy recipe!

      Good question! Yes, you can substitute with honey – I would start with a tablespoon and add on from there to your tastes. You can also use brown sugar or molasses. If you want to try an authentic Asian way of sweetening your noodles, look for ABC Kecap Manis on Amazon or a local Asian grocery store – it’s a thick, syrupy soy sauce with sugar already added in. So you would use that with regular soy sauce for a combination of savory and sweet flavors.

    Made this last night but added some matchstick carrots & green onion… TO DIE FOR!!! I began a WFH job which has prompted me to cook often. Although I’m just getting started on my cooking journey I really have learned to love it. This recipe inspired me to do a hibachi night for myself & my partner using your recipes. Your food brings joy to people!!

    The base here is okay, but I prefer a much sweeter sauce. I find that in the hibachi places that their sauce is sweeter than what this recipe delivers- I followed this, then added quite a bit more sugar to get the taste I was going for. Thank you for the base! In the future I’ll reduce the amount of soy sauce and increase the sugar. Yum!

      If sweet is what you’re looking for, there’s a sweeter and thicker version of standard soy sauce that is regularly used to add both sweetness and color to noodles. It’s called sweet or thick soy sauce and the brand I use is ABC Kecap Manis. Molasses is added to the sauce to give it a wonderful sweetness which also makes it more viscous.

    Ok, I have a secret. I’ve been using your hibachi recipes since 2014. We had a hibachi restaurant at Ft Bragg that served noodles. I told my then bf, now husband “oh yeah, I can make those.” 😳 He was so excited to try my version. Long story short, I made this recipe, he loved it and said they were better than Samurai and married me. I’m not sure if it was the noodles that got him to the alter, but it definitely helped! His whole family ravs about them and it is the meal he asks for on his birthday. Hibachi chicken, veggies, noodles and the ginger-carrot iceberg salad. We call it “Samurai” for short. Thank you, Farah, your hibachi series is a meal that I’m now famous for. It’s delicious and you deserve all of the credit!

      This has to be one of the best comments I’ve gotten to date hands down. Especially knowing you’ve been sitting on it since 2014! Thanks for making my Sunday morning – I sat on the glow of being someone’s birthday meal for the rest of the day ♡
