How to Make Savory Delightful Chicken Yaki Udon Noodle Stir Fry
  1. Prepare Ingredients: Begin by slicing the boneless chicken breasts into thin strips and chopping your bell peppers and carrots.
  2. Cook Chicken: Heat a tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips, sautéing them until they turn golden brown and are cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add Vegetables: Toss in the bell peppers, carrots, and minced garlic. Stir-fry these vibrant veggies until they soften lightly while still retaining a bit of crunch, around 3-4 minutes.
  4. Prepare Udon Noodles: While your veggies are cooking, boil the udon noodles according to the package instructions. Once done, drain the noodles, reserving some of the cooking water for added moisture later.
  5. Combine: Gently fold the cooked udon noodles into the skillet with the chicken and vegetables. Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce and toss everything together for about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Serve: Plate your savory chicken yaki udon stir fry and garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.

Notes

Optional: Drizzle with a little extra sesame oil for added richness before serving. This dish is delicious even after storing, making it a great option for meal prep!
