Step-by-Step Instructions
Here’s how to make Chicken Teriyaki Noodles:
Cook the Noodles:
- Cook the Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Cook the Chicken:
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Vegetables:
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper, onion, and broccoli. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Add the grated ginger and minced garlic, and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Make the Teriyaki Sauce:
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey (or halal sweetener), rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch (if using). Pour the sauce into the skillet with the vegetables. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
Combine and Serve:
- Mix Everything Together: Add the cooked chicken and noodles back into the skillet, tossing everything together to coat in the teriyaki sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat everything through.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top before serving, if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
