Whether we’re looking for a quick weeknight dinner or a special occasion meal, this recipe always delivers. And the best part?

It’s surprisingly healthy too – with lean protein from the chicken, complex carbs from the noodles, and plenty of vitamins and minerals from the veggies. My kids adore it, my husband raves about it, and I feel great serving it to them.

🥘Ingredients

For the Chicken and Marinade

500g boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon mirin
1 teaspoon grated ginger

For the Teriyaki Sauce

4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons mirin
2 tablespoons sake or dry sherry
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water

For the Noodles and Stir-Fry

300g dried udon or ramen noodles
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup snap peas, trimmed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish
2 green onions, sliced for garnish

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces with 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon mirin, and grated ginger.
2Toss well to coat, then let the chicken marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
3Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
4Add the noodles and cook according to package directions until al dente, typically 4 to 5 minutes for udon or 3 to 4 minutes for ramen.
5Drain the noodles in a colander, rinse briefly with cold water to stop the cooking, and set aside.
6In a small bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce ingredients: 4 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons mirin, 2 tablespoons sake, and 2 tablespoons sugar until the sugar dissolves.
7Stir in the cornstarch slurry and set the sauce aside.
8Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
9Add the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer and cook without stirring for 3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
10Flip the chicken and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
11Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
12Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet.
13Add the sliced red bell pepper and snap peas, and stir-fry for 2 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
14Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
15Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
16Stir everything together and bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat.
17Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables evenly.
18Add the drained noodles to the skillet and toss gently with tongs to combine, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce.
19Cook for 1 minute until the noodles are heated through.
20Remove from heat, garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, and serve immediately.

📝Notes

For a thicker sauce, simmer the cornstarch slurry a bit longer. You can substitute chicken breast for thighs, but reduce cooking time by 1 minute per side to avoid dryness. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat.
