Ingredients
Scale
- 1.1 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced thin
- 7 oz egg noodles (or udon, ramen, or spaghetti)
- 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted (optional)
- 1 cup assorted veggies (bell pepper strips, snap peas, broccoli florets, optional)
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Slice chicken thighs thinly. Mince garlic and grate ginger. Slice green onions and prep any veggies.
- Boil egg noodles according to package instructions (usually 3-4 minutes). Drain and toss with a teaspoon of sesame oil.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken and sear until golden and cooked through (about 4-5 minutes).
- Add minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add chopped veggies (if using) and stir-fry until just tender but still crisp (about 2 minutes).
- Mix teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Pour over chicken and veggies in the skillet. Stir well and let sauce bubble and thicken slightly.
- Add drained noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together until noodles are well coated in sauce.
- Sprinkle with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Add chili flakes if desired. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Slice chicken thin for fast, juicy cooking. Prep all ingredients before starting for efficiency. Adjust sauce sweetness or saltiness to taste. For gluten-free, use rice noodles and tamari. Add extra veggies or swap chicken for tofu for vegetarian. Leftovers keep well and taste even better the next day.
