Description

A quick and flavorful Japanese stir-fry noodle dish with chicken, bell peppers, carrots, and a savory soy-based sauce.


Ingredients

  • 8 oz udon noodles
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil (divided)
  • 1 cup boneless chicken breast, sliced
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup carrots, julienne
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced


Instructions

  1. Cook udon noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat 1/2 tbsp sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 5–7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from pan.
  3. In the same skillet, add remaining sesame oil if needed. Add bell peppers and carrots; stir-fry 3–4 minutes until tender but still crisp.
  4. Return chicken to skillet with vegetables. Add udon noodles, soy sauce, and vegetable broth; stir until well coated and heated through.
  5. Stir in minced garlic during the last minute of cooking. Remove from heat, garnish with green onions, and serve.

Notes

  • Use day-old noodles for better texture.
  • Add a splash of sesame seeds or a drizzle of sriracha for extra flavor.
  • Substitute chicken with shrimp or tofu for variety.
