Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, cook the egg noodles according to package directions until just tender, drain, rinse briefly with cold water, toss with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, and set aside to cool.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, mirin (or honey), and white pepper; set the sauce near the stove.
- Pre-heat a large flat griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes until lightly smoking.
- Add 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the hot griddle, spread the chosen protein in a single layer, and sear for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through; push to one side.
- Add 1 tablespoon butter to the cleared side, pour in the beaten eggs, and scramble for about 1 minute until softly set; chop into small curds and combine with the cooked protein.
- Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter on the griddle, add the mixed vegetables, and stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until crisp-tender and slightly charred; add minced garlic during the final minute.
- Spread the cooled noodles on the open side of the griddle, pour the prepared sauce evenly over them, and let sit for 30 seconds to absorb heat.
- Using spatulas, toss noodles, vegetables, and protein together for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly until everything is evenly coated and the noodles develop light crispy edges.
- Taste and season with salt if needed, then immediately transfer the hibachi noodles to serving bowls.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and serve piping hot.
Notes
For best results, have all ingredients prepped before heating the griddle; the actual cooking moves quickly and benefits from constant movement.
