Effortless Chicken Teriyaki Noodles (Printable Recipe Version)

Stir-fry soft chicken, crunchy veggies, and noodles all mixed with a sweet teriyaki sauce that's way tastier than takeout.

# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Noodles and Protein

01 - 340g (12 oz) noodles—spaghetti, udon, or lo mein work fine
02 - 450g (1 lb) chicken, boneless and skinless, sliced up

→ Vegetables

03 - 2 green onions, cut up
04 - 1 cup (70g) carrots, shredded
05 - 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
06 - 1 cup (100g) broccoli, chopped into florets

→ Teriyaki Sauce

07 - 1 tbsp fresh ginger, just grated
08 - 2 cloves garlic, chopped small
09 - 2 tbsp cornstarch mixed into same amount of water
10 - 2 tbsp sesame oil
11 - 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar
12 - 1/4 cup (60ml) honey or brown sugar for sweetness
13 - 1/4 cup (60ml) water
14 - 1/2 cup (120ml) soy sauce, go for low sodium if you want

→ Other

15 - Sesame seeds on top, for finishing
16 - 2 tbsp vegetable oil, keep them separate

# Steps to Make It:

01 - Drop the cooked chicken into your pan with the noodles and pour the sauce all over. Warm up, mixing until it’s coated. Add green onions and sesame for a punch at the end.
02 - Throw broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots into the leftover oil and stir them around just until they’re bright and still have a bit of crunch.
03 - Heat half the oil in your skillet, toss in the chicken pieces, and sauté until they get some nice color—5 or 6 minutes should do. Take them off the heat when done.
04 - Boil noodles like it says on the box. Whip up your sauce in a saucepan—just chuck everything in and let it bubble until thick (that cornstarch slurry helps a ton).

# Extra Information:

01 - Splash in some sriracha if you want it spicy
02 - Go for tofu if you’re skipping chicken
03 - Another hit of sesame oil makes it extra tasty
