A quick and easy 20-minute recipe for glossy, takeout-style chicken noodles with a savory soy-garlic sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 8 ounces noodles (ramen, udon, or egg noodles), cooked according to package directions
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add chicken pieces, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
  5. Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the chicken. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and coats the chicken.
  6. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to coat them in the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicier sauce, add 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes with the garlic.
  • You can substitute chicken breast for chicken thighs, but adjust cooking time as needed.
  • Other noodle options include spaghetti or linguine.
  • Add your favorite stir-fry vegetables like broccoli, bell peppers, or snap peas when you add the garlic.
