Pooja Jhunjhunwala

These Teriyaki noodles with grilled paneer is so delicious and such a quick meal. The flavors are simple and not overpowering at all which makes everyone love it. This recipe is so versatile and you can use all your favorite vegetables. I marinated the paneer in the teriyaki marinade before grilling it. That gave it an extra burst of flavor and it was so yum! This is a perfect meal for the days you want something delicious with minimal work. Teriyaki marinade adds sweetness and so much flavor to the dish, you need to try it.

Happy Cooking!

Notes/Tips:

  • I love using California olive ranch teriyaki marinade and sauce. You can use any you like or make it at home.

  • You can use any veggies you like.

  • Don’t overcook the veggies, you want them crispy.

  • You can swap paneer with tofu if you want.

  • I like to use thin egg noodles for this recipe.
