Ingredients
Scale
- 225 g Udon noodles
- 1 EL Sesame oil (divided)
- 3 EL Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1/2 cup Vegetable broth
- 1 cup Chicken breast (sliced)
- 1 cup Bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 cup Carrots (julienne)
- 2 Green onions (chopped)
- 2 Garlic cloves (chopped)
Instructions
- Cook udon noodles according to package instructions. Drain, rinse briefly with cold water, and mix with 1/2 EL sesame oil to prevent sticking.
- Slice chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and marinate with 1/2 EL sesame oil and 1.5 EL soy sauce.
- Slice bell pepper and julienne carrots. Finely chop garlic. Divide green onions: use the white part for stir-frying and the green part for garnish.
- Mix the remaining 1.5 EL soy sauce with vegetable broth in a small bowl.
- Heat 1 EL oil in a wok or deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the marinated chicken until golden brown. Remove from the wok and set aside.
- Add garlic and the white part of the green onions to the wok and sauté for about 30 seconds. Add bell pepper and carrots, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
- Add the prepared udon noodles and the sautéed chicken to the vegetables in the wok. Pour the mixed sauce over the top.
- Mix everything well and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the noodles are hot and the sauce slightly thickens and coats the ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve the Yaki Udon immediately on plates and garnish with the green part of the green onions. Optionally sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
