- Cook Noodles Al Dente: Slightly undercook the noodles if they’ll continue to cook in the skillet to avoid them becoming mushy.
- Use Fresh Ginger and Garlic: Fresh ginger and garlic add a bold flavor to the sauce that really enhances the dish.
- Customize Your Veggies: You can add mushrooms, carrots, or baby corn to mix up the flavors and textures.
FAQs
Q: Can I use pre-made teriyaki sauce?
A: Absolutely! If you’re short on time, a high-quality store-bought teriyaki sauce can work as a substitute.
Q: Can I make this with only shrimp or only steak?
A: Yes! You can customize it to include just one protein, or even try chicken, for a different spin on the recipe.
Q: What if I don’t have lo mein noodles?
A: Lo mein noodles add a nice texture, but you can use spaghetti, udon, or even rice noodles in this dish.
Storing & Reheating
Storing: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheating: To reheat, place in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, adding a splash of water or extra teriyaki sauce if needed to keep it from drying out.
Substitutions & Variations
- Vegetable Options: Try adding zucchini, mushrooms, or bok choy for extra flavor.
- Noodle Choices: Udon or soba noodles also work well and add different textures.
- Sweetness: Adjust the brown sugar or honey to make the sauce more or less sweet.
