Everything is stir-fried in a flavorful sauce made from soy sauce and oyster sauce.\n\n\n\nIt's ready in about 20 minutes and is a great way to clear out the fridge; the recipe is very versatile. It's not only tastier, faster, and healthier than restaurant versions, but it's also simple!\n\n\n\nFor a full chicken feast, serve it alongside my garlic chicken.\n\n\n\nCaramel chicken is another great side for these noodles\n\n\n\nTips for perfect chicken stir-fried noodles\n\n\n\nMake your own broth! Nothing is easier: simmer chicken bones in water for two hours. The payoff is worth it; the flavor is intense yet balanced.\n\n\n\nSorry, I just really love the taste of concentrated chicken broth.\n\n\n\nBalance the sweetness of this dish with the deliciously spicy cumin beef\n\n\n\nLet it reduce! It may take a little longer; it depends on your stove's power, etc... but it mustn't turn into soup. Unless that's how you like it, in which case ignore me. If you think it won't reduce quickly enough, wait until the sauce has thickened nicely before adding the noodles and then the meat.\n\n\n\nKey ingredients for chicken stir-fried noodles\n\n\n\nLight and dark soy sauce: They are essential to the flavor and are quite different. In a pinch you can skip the dark soy sauce, but trust me, it adds that little something.\n\n\n\nChicken: I prefer boneless thighs because their extra fat gives more flavor, but you can use breast for a leaner option.\n\n\n\nOyster sauce: Brings a truly unique taste to the dish. And no, it doesn't taste like oysters.\n\n\n\nSesame oil: Don't skip it; it adds loads of flavor. I like to use toasted sesame oil.\n\n\n\nUdon noodles: These thick Japanese noodles are great here, but any noodle will work. Their sturdiness helps them stand up to the sauce-reduction step.\n\n\n\n\n\n\tStir-fried chicken noodles better than take-out\n\t\t\n\t\tA simple recipe for chicken stir-fried noodles that's better than a restaurant\t\n\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\n\t\t450 g chicken (sliced, preferably boneless chicken thighs)300 g noodles (preferably udon)2 onions (sliced)5 stalks scallions (in 1\u20132 cm segments)Sauce250 g chicken stock1 tablespoon oyster sauce1 tablespoon light soy sauce1 tablespoon dark soy sauce0.5 tablespoon cornstarch1 tablespoon sesame oil1 tablespoon granulated sugar2 cloves garlic (minced)\t\n\t\n\t\t Cook the noodles according to the package instructions Combine the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
