Ingredients
For the Teriyaki Sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp mirin (or rice vinegar)
- 2 tbsp honey (or brown sugar)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (to thicken)
For the Noodles and Chicken
- 8 oz noodles (lo mein, ramen, or spaghetti)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Step-by-Step Directions
- Prepare the sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Dissolve cornstarch in water and set aside for later use. - Cook the noodles:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles according to package instructions until just tender. Drain and set aside. - Cook the chicken:
Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until golden and fully cooked, about 5–6 minutes. Remove and set aside. - Sauté the vegetables:
In the same pan, add onion, bell pepper, carrot, and broccoli. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, just until crisp-tender. - Combine everything:
Return the chicken to the pan. Pour in the teriyaki sauce and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy. - Add noodles:
Toss in the cooked noodles and stir well to coat everything evenly in that beautiful glaze. Adjust seasoning with more soy sauce or honey if needed. - Serve and garnish:
Serve warm, topped with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
