Description
These Delicious Chicken Teriyaki Noodles are a quick and flavorful dinner option!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless chicken breasts, sliced
- 200 grams noodles (lo mein or spaghetti)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar or honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 cup water or chicken broth
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (optional)
Instructions
- Start by slicing the boneless chicken breasts into thin strips. This not only helps the chicken cook faster but also allows it to soak up the flavors of the sauce more effectively. Set the slices aside while you gather the other ingredients.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set them aside while you prepare the chicken and sauce.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar (or honey), minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, water (or chicken broth), and cornstarch until everything is well combined. This combination will create a deliciously sticky and flavorful teriyaki sauce that enhances the dish.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken to the pan in a single layer and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, stirring occasionally to get an even sear.
- If you choose to include mixed vegetables, add them to the pan once the chicken is cooked. Stir-fry them together for a few minutes until they’re tender but still crisp, absorbing the flavors from the chicken.
- Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the pan. Stir well to coat everything evenly, and cook for a couple of minutes until the sauce starts to thicken slightly.
- Add the cooked noodles to the pan and toss with the chicken and sauce. Ensure that all the noodles are well-coated in the delicious teriyaki sauce. Cook for another minute or so to combine the flavors further.
- Remove the pan from the heat, sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your homemade delicious Chicken Teriyaki Noodles!
Notes
For added flavor, marinate the chicken in soy sauce for about 30 minutes prior to cooking.
