Tools You’ll Need
Large skillet or wok

Tongs or spatula
Mixing bowls
Measuring cups and spoons

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Noodles
Cook noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry.

Step 3: Cook the Chicken
Toss sliced chicken with cornstarch, salt, and pepper.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 4: Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add bell pepper, shredded carrots, and broccoli. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until just tender.

Step 5: Combine Everything
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
Pour in the teriyaki sauce and bring to a simmer.
Add the cornstarch slurry and stir until the sauce thickens, about 1–2 minutes.
Add the cooked noodles and toss everything together until well coated.

Step 6: Serve
Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy.

Tips for the Best Teriyaki Noodles
Slice Chicken Thinly – It cooks faster and more evenly
Don’t Overcook the Noodles – They’ll continue to soften when tossed with the sauce
Use Fresh Ginger & Garlic – For authentic, bold flavor
Double the Sauce – If you love extra sauciness, increase the sauce ingredients

Serving Suggestions
Pair with a fresh cucumber salad or edamame
Serve with a side of miso soup or egg rolls
Top with a drizzle of sriracha or chili oil for heat
Add pineapple chunks for a sweet contrast

How to Store & Reheat
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days
Reheat in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water or broth
Microwave in short intervals, stirring in between
