Teriyaki Chicken Noodle Bowls

Teriyaki Chicken Noodle Bowls combine tender chicken thigh chunks with Yaki-Soba noodles coated in a homemade teriyaki sauce. The sauce is made from reduced sodium soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and honey thickened with cornstarch, delivering a balance of sweet and savory flavors. Quick cooking keeps the chicken juicy, and the noodles absorb the sauce, finishing the dish with a satisfying texture. Garnished with sesame seeds and green onion, this dish offers an inviting presentation and flavor profile.

Ingredients

  • 2 yaki-soba noodles refrigerated, seasoning sauce packets discarded
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ⅓ cup soy sauce reduced sodium
  • ¼ cup brown sugar packed
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger freshly grated
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 pound chicken thigh cut into 1-inch chunks, boneless, skinless
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 1 green onion thinly sliced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large pot of boiling water, add Yaki-Soba until loosened, about 1-2 minutes; drain well.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 1/4 cup water; set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, add soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, honey and 1 cup water; bring to a simmer. Stir in cornstarch mixture until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 2 minutes; let cool to room temperature. Reserve 1/4 cup and set aside.
  4. In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine soy sauce mixture and chicken; marinate for at least 30 minutes to overnight, turning the bag occasionally. Drain the chicken from the marinade.
  5. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes; set aside.
  6. Stir in Yaki-Soba and 1/4 cup reserved soy sauce mixture until well combined, about 2 minutes.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and green onion, if desired.

Notes

  • Yaki-Soba noodles are found in the refrigerated section and provide authentic texture for this dish.
  • Marinate the chicken at least 30 minutes or overnight for deeper flavor.
  • Reserve some sauce before cooking to stir into noodles for coating.
  • Serve right after cooking to enjoy optimal tenderness and sauce glaze.
