Ingredients
Scale
For the Teriyaki Sauce:
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water (slurry)
For the Chicken Teriyaki Noodle Dish:
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 12 ounces fresh or frozen udon noodles
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 carrots, julienned
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup sliced cabbage
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Make the Teriyaki Sauce:
In a small saucepan, whisk together soy sauce, water, mirin, brown sugar, honey, garlic, and ginger. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Add the cornstarch slurry while whisking constantly. Continue to simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. - Prepare the Chicken:
Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Pour 1/4 cup of the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and let marinate for at least 15 minutes in the fridge. - Cook the Chicken:
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside. - Stir-Fry the Veggies:
In the same pan, add the onion and carrots. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften. Add the broccoli, cabbage, garlic, and ginger, and continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender. - Cook the Noodles:
Cook the udon noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain the noodles and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. - Combine and Serve:
Add the cooked chicken, udon noodles, and remaining teriyaki sauce to the pan with the vegetables. Toss everything together and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until heated through and well combined. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, then serve immediately.
