Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken and Noodles:

  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced thin
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
  • 12 oz (340g) noodles (lo mein, udon, or spaghetti)
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup (100g) broccoli florets
  • 1 cup (70g) shredded carrots
  • 2 green onions, sliced

For the Teriyaki Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup (120ml) soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) water
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) honey or brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (for thickening)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger

For Garnish:

  • Sesame seeds
  • Sliced green onions

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.
