Instructions
- Cook the Noodles:
- Cook the noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Make the Teriyaki Sauce:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the soy sauce, water, honey (or brown sugar), rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
- Bring to a simmer and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
- Cook the Chicken:
- Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil.
- Add the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and shredded carrots. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Combine Everything:
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet along with the drained noodles.
- Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken, noodles, and vegetables. Toss everything together until well coated and heated through.
- Serve:
- Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve hot!
Notes
- Make it spicy: Add sriracha, red pepper flakes, or sliced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- Make it vegetarian: Substitute chicken with tofu or extra vegetables.
- Add flavor: Drizzle with extra sesame oil before serving for an added burst of flavor.
