Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or sesame oil
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup sliced carrots
  • 1/4 cup sliced red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup sliced yellow onion
  • 8 ounces noodles such as lo mein noodles, spaghetti, or ramen noodles), cooked according to package directions and drained
  • sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
  • chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Teriyaki Sauce
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce low-sodium is recommended
  • 1/4 cup honey or brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine) or dry sherry
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch, mixed with 2 teaspoons cold water (for thickening)

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Wok
  • Medium Bowl

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey (or brown sugar), mirin (or sherry), rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Set aside.
    1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup honey or brown sugar, 2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine) or dry sherry, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, 2 cloves cloves garlic
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
    1 tablespoon vegetable oil or sesame oil
  3. Add the broccoli florets, sliced carrots, red bell pepper, and yellow onion to the same skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender. You want them to retain a slight bite.
    1 cup broccoli florets, 1/2 cup sliced carrots, 1/4 cup sliced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup sliced yellow onion
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

    1 teaspoon cornstarch, mixed with 2 teaspoons cold water
  6. Add the cooked and drained noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together gently to coat the noodles and chicken evenly with the thickened teriyaki sauce. Ensure all the ingredients are well combined.
