Chicken Teriyaki with stir-fried egg noodles

If you had a bite off this dish, you wouldn’t believe it when I say that it is very easy to cook and assemble. With just the right amount of tender chicken and sweetness of the teriyaki glaze, this dish is a true love at first bite!

I have tried a gazillion versions of teriyaki sauce and finally, finally I will be sticking to this version for a long, long time to come. This is a “minimalist” version with very few ingredients (no ginger, no garlic etc.), which neither comes off too strong, nor too sweet.

Once you have the perfect sauce and the right method of cooking the chicken (so that it isn’t chewy) you’ve got yourself a winner menu!

You may serve this teriyaki dish as a side or as a main by bedding it over some subtly flavoured egg noodles with veggies like I did. Here goes…

Ingredients: – (serves 4-6)

  • 400gms chicken breasts
  • salt & pepper according to taste
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1 packet Instant egg noodles
  • 1-2 tbsp Worcester sauce (according to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp garlic, minced
  • 1/2 carrot (diced)
  • pok choy or any other greens

Ingredients for the Teriyaki Sauce

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup mirin
  • 2 tbsp shoyu (Japanese soy sauce)
  • 1 tsp mustard

* A lot of recipe use Honey instead of sugar because it is a healthier option but for my Teriyaki I have always only loved the original flavouring of sugar. Give both a try and decide for yourself!
