Ingredients

Marinade

  • 2 Tbsp unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 5 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 1 Tbsp peeled grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon chile pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Chicken and stir-fry veggies

  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 Tbsp dark toasted sesame oil optional
  • 4-5 green onions cut on a diagonal, 1/2-inch apart, including the greens
  • 3 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 4-5 mini sweet bell peppers seeded and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh snow peas
  • 1 hot chili pepper preferably red serrano or jalapeno, seeded, sliced
  • 1- inch piece of ginger peeled, cut lengthwise into matchstick shapes
  • 1/2 cup loosely packed chopped cilantro (optional)
  • 2 cups fresh yakisoba noodles

Instructions

  • Slice the chicken lengthwise in to 2 thin pieces. Then cut each slice into strips.
  • Prepare marinade and reserve 1/4 cup for adding to veggies and noodles at the end.  Marinate the chicken strips in remaining sauce for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • Heat the vegetable and sesame oil in a wok or large saute pan over high heat until it's nearly smoking. Cook the chicken in 2 batches for 6-8 minutes each batch so that you do not crowd the pan.   Transfer cooked chicken to a bowl.
  • After chicken is cooked, remove all chicken from wok and add garlic, ginger, peppers and snow peas and stir fry for 2 minutes.
  • Add the yakisoba noodles and reserved marinade and cook for 1 minute to heat the noodles through. Add the chicken back to the pan and stir to incorporate all flavors throughout.
  • Garnish with chopped cilantro, if using
