Ingredients
  

For the Noodles

  • 200 g Yaki-Soba noodles Can substitute with spaghetti-style noodles

For the Sauce

  • 1/4 cup cornstarch Used to thicken the sauce
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce Reduce for lower sodium option
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar Can substitute with sugar alternative
  • 1 clove garlic Minced
  • 1 inch ginger Grated
  • 1 tbsp honey Optional, reduce for low sugar
  • 1 cup water Used in sauce preparation

For the Chicken

  • 500 g chicken breast Cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tbsp olive oil For pan-searing

Instructions
 

Preparation of Noodles

  • In a large pot of boiling water, add Yaki-Soba noodles and cook until loosened, approximately 1-2 minutes. Drain well.

Make the Sauce

  • In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 1/4 cup water; set aside.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, honey, and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer.
  • Stir in the cornstarch mixture until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 2 minutes. Let cool to room temperature and reserve 1/4 cup.

Marinate the Chicken

  • In a gallon-sized Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine soy sauce mixture and chicken. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, turning the bag occasionally. Drain chicken from the marinade.

Cook the Chicken

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.

Combine Chicken and Noodles

  • Stir in Yaki-Soba noodles and reserved soy sauce mixture into the skillet with chicken until well combined, about 2 minutes.

Serve

  • Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and green onion if desired.

Notes

Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes for the best flavor, but limit marinating to 24 hours to avoid texture breakdown. Leftovers store well for 3-4 days in an airtight container.
