Description
A quick and easy weeknight dinner featuring juicy chicken, tender noodles, and vibrant veggies in a sweet and savory homemade teriyaki sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water (for slurry)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 8 oz noodles (udon, ramen, or spaghetti)
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, carrots, chopped into bite-sized pieces)
- 2 tablespoons green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic, ginger, and rice vinegar to prepare the sauce. Set aside.
- Bring a pot of water to boil and cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chopped chicken and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Toss in the chopped vegetables and stir-fry for about 5 minutes, until tender-crisp. Remove from the skillet.
- Reduce the heat to medium and pour the sauce into the skillet. Mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry and add it to the sauce. Stir until the sauce thickens.
- Add the cooked noodles and chicken into the pan with the sauce. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Fold the cooked vegetables back into the pan and toss to combine.
- Transfer to plates or bowls, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, and serve hot.
Notes
[‘Marinate the chicken in the teriyaki sauce for 15-30 minutes before cooking for extra flavor.’, ‘Keep the vegetables tender-crisp for the best texture.’, ‘Use high heat for stir-frying to achieve the best results.’, ‘Double the sauce if you prefer extra saucy noodles.’, ‘Taste the noodles before draining to ensure they are cooked al dente.’]
