Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoon sesame oil
- 8 ounce noodles (egg noodles, udon, or your choice)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
1. Combine the soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil in a bowl. Add the sliced chicken and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator.
2. While the chicken is marinating, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles according to the package instructions until they are al dente. Drain the noodles and set them aside.
3. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and the remaining sauce from the marinade. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened into a delectable glaze.
4. In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the cooked noodles and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Toss and stir-fry the noodles for 2-3 minutes, ensuring they are evenly coated and heated through.
5. Finally, add the glazed chicken to the stir-fried noodles and toss everything together until well combined. The chicken’s savory-sweet teriyaki coating will infuse the noodles with its irresistible flavor.
6. To serve, sprinkle the Chicken Teriyaki Noodles with sesame seeds, thinly sliced green onions, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes (if desired).
