# Instructions:
01 -
In a small saucepan, whisk the soy sauce, water, mirin, brown sugar, honey, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
02 -
Add the cornstarch slurry while whisking constantly. Continue to simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 -
Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Pour 1/4 cup of the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and let marinate for at least 15 minutes in the fridge.
04 -
Heat the oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
05 -
In the same pan, add the onion and carrots. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until starting to soften. Add the broccoli, cabbage, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
06 -
Cook the udon noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water.
07 -
Add the cooked chicken, noodles, and remaining teriyaki sauce to the pan with the veggies. Toss everything and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until heated through and well combined.
08 -
Serve the teriyaki chicken noodles garnished with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Enjoy!
# Notes:
01 -
The recipe says to marinate the chicken for at least 15 minutes. However, the longer you marinate it, the better it will taste. I like to give my chicken at least 1 hour in the sauce before cooking it.
