Preparation

Step1: Marinate the Chicken

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce and cornstarch to form a marinade.
  2. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  3. Let the chicken marinate for 15-20 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

Step2: Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce

  1. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, honey, ginger, and garlic.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the cornstarch slurry and stir until the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step3: Cook the Noodles

  1. Boil a pot of water and cook the noodles according to the package instructions.
  2. Drain and toss them with sesame oil to prevent sticking.

Step4: Stir-Fry the Vegetables

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add broccoli, bell pepper, carrot, and snap peas.
  3. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step5: Cook the Chicken

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in the same skillet or wok.
  2. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step6: Combine Everything

  1. Return the skillet to the heat and add the cooked noodles.
  2. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the noodles and toss to coat evenly.
  3. Add the chicken and vegetables back into the skillet, mixing everything together.
  4. Cook for 2-3 minutes to warm through and allow the flavors to meld.
