A quick and nutritious stir-fry combining tender chicken, vibrant vegetables, and a flavorful sauce over hearty noodles.

Ingredients

For the Stir-Fry Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce or Tamari (The savory, umami-rich backbone of our sauce. Using a low-sodium version helps you control the salt level, while tamari is a great gluten-free alternative.)
  • 3 tablespoons Honey or Maple Syrup (This provides a touch of sweetness to balance the salty and sour notes. Maple syrup is a vegan option.)
  • 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar (Adds bright, tangy acidity.)
  • 1 tablespoon Toasted Sesame Oil (Adds nutty, aromatic depth.)
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced (Provides sharp, foundational flavor.)
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger, grated (Adds warm, zesty spice.)
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch (Thickens the sauce to a glossy glaze.)

For the Stir-Fry

  • 8 ounces Dried Noodles (Udon, Soba, or Whole Wheat Spaghetti) (Hearty base; cook al dente.)
  • 1.5 lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, thinly sliced (Lean protein, cooks quickly.)
  • 1 tablespoon Avocado Oil or other high-heat oil (For searing chicken and vegetables.)
  • 1 large Head of Broccoli, cut into small florets (Adds texture and nutrients.)
  • 2 medium Carrots, julienned or thinly sliced (Provides sweetness and crunch.)
  • 1 red Bell Pepper, thinly sliced (Adds color and sweetness.)
  • 1 cup Snap Peas, strings removed (Adds crunch and freshness.)
  • 4 Green Onions sliced, whites and greens separated (White parts for cooking, greens for garnish.)

Instructions 

  • Whisk together all sauce ingredients until smooth; set aside.
  • Cook noodles in salted boiling water until al dente, drain, rinse with cold water, toss with a little sesame oil, and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large pan, sear sliced chicken until golden and cooked through, then remove and set aside.
  • Stir-fry broccoli and carrots for 3-4 minutes, then add bell pepper, snap peas, and white green onions; cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Return chicken to pan, add noodles, pour sauce over, toss to coat, and cook 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and glazes ingredients.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, chopped peanuts, and fresh cilantro before serving.
