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
- 1 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. Begin by preparing the marinade. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Add the thinly sliced chicken and let it marinate for 15-20 minutes.
2. While the chicken is marinating, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain the noodles and toss them with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Set the noodles aside.
3. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes.
4. Once the chicken is cooked, add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated in the teriyaki sauce.
5. Sprinkle the Chicken Teriyaki Noodles with sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and red pepper flakes (if desired). Serve the dish warm and enjoy.
Notes
Marinate the Chicken Thoroughly: The longer you let the chicken marinate, the more flavorful it will be. Aim for at least 15-20 minutes, but you can also marinate it up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
Use High-Heat Cooking: Cooking the chicken over medium-high heat helps achieve that delicious sear and caramelization, locking in the moisture and flavor.
Adjust the Sauce to Taste: Feel free to tweak the proportions of soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and honey to suit your personal flavor preferences.
Invest in Quality Noodles: Choose your favorite noodle variety, whether it’s egg noodles, udon, or even rice noodles, for the best texture and mouthfeel.
