Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz Yakisoba Noodles pre-steamed
  • 2 pieces Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts sliced into thin strips
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil neutral-flavored
  • 1 cup Bell Peppers sliced, red, yellow, or green
  • 1 cup Broccoli Florets
  • 1 Carrot julienned
  • 4 Green Onions chopped
  • 1/4 cup Teriyaki Sauce alcohol-free, balanced sweet-savory
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil to drizzle at the end
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame Seeds toasted
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Small bowl

Method
 

  1. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. Wash and slice the bell peppers, separate broccoli into small florets, julienne the carrot, and chop the green onions. Gently loosen yakisoba noodles if packaged in a block.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add more oil if needed. Stir-fry bell peppers, broccoli, and julienned carrot for 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp.
  4. Return cooked chicken to skillet with vegetables. Add yakisoba noodles and pour teriyaki sauce over everything. Toss well and heat through to allow noodles to absorb sauce.
  5. Drizzle sesame oil over the yakisoba and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top. Stir in chopped green onions, reserving some for garnish if desired.
  6. Serve the Teriyaki Chicken Yakisoba hot, directly from the pan. Enjoy as a filling meal or with simple sides.

Notes

  • Marinate chicken in teriyaki sauce for 15-30 minutes before cooking for extra flavor.
  • Toast sesame seeds in a dry skillet until golden to enhance nuttiness.
  • Cook chicken and vegetables in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Add crushed red pepper flakes or chili oil for a spicy kick.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated up to 3 days; reheat gently with a splash of water or broth.
