Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 2 chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce (a blend of soy sauce, mirin, and sugar)

Noodles

  • 8 ounces egg noodles

Vegetables

  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned or thinly sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas, trimmed

Aromatics

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

Garnishes

  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

Cooking Essentials

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the noodles: Boil egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking, then set aside.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bite-sized chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
  3. Sauté the aromatics and vegetables: In the same skillet, add more oil if needed. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add bell peppers, carrots, and snap peas, stir-frying until tender-crisp.
  4. Combine chicken, noodles, and sauce: Return cooked chicken to the skillet with vegetables. Pour in teriyaki sauce and gently simmer. Add cooked noodles and toss everything to evenly coat with sauce.
  5. Garnish and serve: Finish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use fresh ginger and garlic for the best flavor.
  • Don’t overcook the noodles; drain immediately once al dente to avoid mushiness.
  • Stir-fry vegetables over high heat to retain crunch and color.
  • If teriyaki sauce is too thin, thicken with a teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with water.
  • Marinate chicken in teriyaki sauce for 15-30 minutes prior to cooking for extra flavor.
