Full Recipe:

Ingredients:

• For the Chicken and Noodles:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 8 oz noodles (such as lo mein, soba, or rice noodles)

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil

  • 1 cup matchstick carrots

  • 1 cup snap peas

  • 1 bell pepper, sliced

  • 2-3 green onions, sliced

• For the Teriyaki Sauce:

  • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce

  • ¼ cup water

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger

Directions:

1. Prepare the Noodles: Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. Make the Teriyaki Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, brown sugar, cornstarch, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until well combined.

3. Cook the Chicken: Heat canola oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

4. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the matchstick carrots, snap peas, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

5. Combine and Simmer: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to coat evenly and bring to a simmer. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened.

6. Add the Noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing to combine and heat through.

7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sliced green onions over the top before serving. Enjoy your homemade Chicken Teriyaki Noodles!
