  • 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
  • 2 medium carrots, julienned or thinly sliced
  • 3 green onions, chopped

Noodles

  • 200g egg noodles or rice noodles, cooked according to package instructions

Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Oils & Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil (for stir-frying)
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (for heat)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Slice the chicken into thin strips and chop all the vegetables for quick and even cooking. Cook the noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
  2. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, honey or brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create a simple savory, sweet, and nutty sauce.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable or olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
  4. Stir Fry the Vegetables: In the same pan, add the chopped vegetables and stir fry for 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp, retaining a satisfying crunch.
  5. Combine Everything: Return cooked chicken and noodles to the pan with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over and stir well to coat evenly. Heat together for another minute to meld the flavors.
  6. Serve Immediately: Transfer the chicken stir fry noodles to plates or bowls, garnish as desired, and enjoy this comforting, colorful dish!

Notes

  • Use high heat to sear chicken and vegetables quickly, preserving juiciness and crunch.
  • Prep all ingredients before cooking to keep the stir fry process smooth and efficient.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming and maintain texture.
  • Add sauce gradually to prevent soggy noodles.
  • Always use fresh garlic and ginger for the best flavor.
  • Feel free to customize with different proteins, noodles, or spice levels.
