How to Make Chicken Teriyaki Noodles

Ingredients:

  • 8 oz rice noodles (or your favorite noodles)
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced (red or green)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • ½ cup teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Cook Noodles: Boil water in a large pot and cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare Chicken: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the bell pepper, broccoli, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cooked noodles, teriyaki sauce, and soy sauce. Mix everything together, ensuring the noodles are well-coated with the sauce.
  5. Simmer: Let the mixture simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. By following these steps, you’ll have a delicious bowl of Chicken Teriyaki Noodles ready in no time!
