Authentic Hibachi Noodle Food

HIBACHI NOODLES

Steps:

• Combine ingredients in a jar or squeeze bottle that you can seal with a lid to shake up the contents, and for storing any unused portion (if desired).
• Shake container before using to cook hibachi style foods, such as these hibachi noodles, rice, vegetables, chicken, steak, or seafood.
• Cook, drain and rinse noodles. Drizzle with sesame seed oil, then lightly season with a couple turns of your black pepper grinder (or sprinkle with a pinch of ground pepper). Toss noodles and set aside.
• In a wok or large frying pan, bring the wok to medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of the hibachi cooking oil, butter, garlic and ginger.
• Saute the garlic and ginger while the butter melts and until the garlic is tender, about 2-3 minutes. Add the pasta, teriyaki, and mirin. Fry the noodles until they are heated through, turning occasionally, for about 2 minutes.
• Use additional hibachi cooking oil as needed, sprinkle with sesame seeds when serving.

• For the yakisoba sauce: Whisk together the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, sugar and soy sauce in a small bowl and reserve.
• For the yakisoba: Place the noodles in a bowl, add about 1 teaspoon of the oil and stir to separate.
• Heat the remaining oil in a skillet over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the pork belly and sear on all sides, about 3 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms, onion and carrot and cook until tender but not cooked all the way, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cabbage and cook until almost tender, about 1 minute. Stir in the scallions and cook until slightly softened, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle in some pepper.
• Add the noodles to the skillet and lower the heat to medium. Stir to warm and combine the noodles with the vegetables in the skillet for about 30 seconds. Stir in the yakisoba sauce and cook until the sauce is absorbed and distributed, about 1 minute. Plate up and top with the dried green seaweed and pickled red ginger if using.
