Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced

Noodles

  • 8 oz rice noodles or egg noodles

Vegetables

  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • 1 cup broccoli florets

Sauce and Seasonings

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari/coconut aminos for gluten-free)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

Garnishes and Optional

  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Optional chili flakes or Sriracha to taste
  • Optional chopped peanuts, cashews, or sesame seeds for crunch

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all fresh vegetables and thinly slice the chicken breast. Cook the noodles according to package instructions, drain, then toss with a light drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and sauté until golden and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. Stir Fry the Vegetables: In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed. Add minced garlic and ginger, cooking briefly until fragrant. Toss in the mixed vegetables and stir fry until crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Combine Noodles, Chicken, and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the pan along with the noodles. Pour soy sauce and any additional seasonings over everything. Toss well to combine, allowing the noodles to absorb the savory sauce.
  5. Final Touches: Sprinkle chopped green onions on top and add chili flakes or Sriracha if desired. Give everything one last gentle toss and serve immediately while hot and flavorful.

Notes

  • Prep all vegetables and slice chicken beforehand to speed cooking.
  • Use a very hot pan or wok to avoid soggy noodles and lock in flavors.
  • Cook chicken and vegetables in batches if needed to prevent overcrowding and maintain crispness.
  • Rice noodles provide a lighter texture; egg noodles offer a chewier bite.
  • Adjust sauce consistency with a splash of broth or water if it feels too thick during stir frying.
  • Leftover chicken can be added in the final step for convenience.
  • Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 days, garnishes separate.
  • Freeze cooked chicken and vegetables separately for up to 2 months; reheat gently.
  • Reheat leftovers in a skillet with a splash of water or broth; avoid microwaving to maintain texture.
