Veggie Teriyaki Stir-Fry with Noodles

INGREDIENTS:

4 ounces soba noodles, brown rice noodles, spaghetti or long noodle of choice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil
1 medium red or white onion, halved and thinly sliced
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
6 cups thinly sliced mixed vegetables*
½ cup teriyaki sauce, or more as needed
1 to 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, to taste
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, plus more for garnish
¼ cup thinly sliced green onion, for garnish

DIRECTIONS:

Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the noodles until al dente, according to package directions. Drain and rinse well to remove any excess starch. Set aside.
Meanwhile, warm a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil, onion and salt. Cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender, about 4 to 6 minutes.
Add the remaining vegetables and cook until they are tender and caramelizing on the edges, stirring every minute or two. Given the volume of vegetables, this will take about 10 to 15 minutes.
Once the vegetables are done, add the noodles and ½ cup teriyaki sauce to the pan. Stir to combine, and cook just until the ingredients are all warmed through, about 1 minute. Feel free to add more teriyaki sauce if you like your noodles extra-saucy …
