  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 340 g fresh or frozen udon noodles
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 2 carrots julienned
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger fresh, grated
  • 2 green onions sliced

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Whisk together soy sauce, water, mirin, brown sugar, honey, garlic, and ginger in a small saucepan and bring to a gentle boil.
  2. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and whisk until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then marinate in half of the teriyaki sauce for at least 15 minutes.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat, add marinated chicken, and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  5. In the same pan, stir-fry onions and carrots for 2-3 minutes until softened, then add broccoli, cabbage, garlic, and ginger, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Prepare udon noodles according to package instructions, drain, and rinse under cold water.
  7. Return cooked chicken to the pan, add noodles and remaining teriyaki sauce, and toss until heated through.
  8. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds; serve hot.

Notes

Feel free to substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts or tofu for a vegetarian version. For extra flavor, toast sesame seeds lightly before garnishing. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheating is recommended. You can prepare the sauce and chop the vegetables in advance to save time on busy nights.
