Ingredients
- 2 (7 ounce each) package udon noodles
- 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil more as needed
- ½ yellow onion sliced
- 4 ounces mushrooms sliced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onion, for garnish, optional
Sauce
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
- ½ tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon Sriracha
- ½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger optional
Instructions
- Combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
- Cook udon noodles according to package directions, drain well, and set aside.
- While noodles are cooking heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste and add to the pan. Cook stirring occasionally until browned and no pink remains, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside in a bowl.
- Add the onions to the pan adding more oil if needed. Cook 2 mintues. Add remaining vegetables. Cook, stirring occasionally, just until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk the sauce (the cornstarch can settle to the bottom) and add to the vegetables. Bring to a simmer and let cook for about 1 minute.
- Add the noodles and chicken with any juices to the pan and toss to combine with the sauce. Cook until heated through.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.

Notes
- Stirfries are fast to cook so make sure all ingredients are measured and prepped before starting.
- Cook the chicken just until cooked through, it will continue to cook a bit as it rests while the veggies cook.
- When adding the chicken back to the stir fry, include the juices for great flavor.
- Thickening the sauce with cornstarch helps to coat the noodles, vegetables, and chicken.
- If you don't have the ingredients for a homemade sauce, you can use a premade stir fry sauce or even teriyaki sauce.
