Teriyaki Noodles and Vegetables


This is one of those easy meals that you can just throw what you have into and make it work.
Cook some pasta (just according to package), whatever you may have. I happened to have spaghetti, but when I do this again, I will do somthing different, since thin noodles are really hard for kids.

While the water is boiling and noodles are cooking, prep your veggies. You can use whatever you have or like. This time I used carrots, broccoli, mushrooms and onions. After they are cut and washed, saute them in a small amount of oil or butter. Depending on how much time you have or how picky you are, add the veggies in the pan in the order of how much time they'll need. For example, onions take a little longer to tenderize than mushrooms, so I would start my onions first and then add the mushrooms towards the end.
When the veggies are cooked to your liking, add in about 1/2 cup of teriyaki sauce for about 8 oz of pasta. If you make more, add more. Then add your cooked, drained pasta. If you have sesame seed oil, add in a generous teaspoon and toss together. Done. Not bad for a healthy, quick and fresh meal, huh?
