    • Chicken Stir Fry With Noodles

    Stir fry is a great way to incorporate veggies into your diet in a non-boring way. For this recipe, you can use any vegetable you like and whatever is in season. What makes this recipe special is the combination of different seasonings and flavors. The special marinade that I use in this recipe tenderizes and seasons the chicken perfectly.

    Why This Recipe Works

    • It is an easy recipe to follow with step-by-step pictures and instructions.
    • You can use any vegetables you have in your fridge to incorporate with teriyaki chicken and noodles.
    • You can marinate the chicken a day in advance, it will taste even better!
    • The marinade for the chicken is also used as the sauce for stir-frying the vegetables.

    Ingredients and Substitutes

    Marinade for Chicken Stir Fry With Noodles

    Labelled picture of ingredients for chicken stir fry noodles
    • Garlic Ginger Paste - I use homemade Garlic Ginger Paste for my Asian-inspired recipes which I prepare beforehand in batches. It adds an incredible spicy flavor and amazing color to the chicken.
    • Teriyaki Sauce - It is a Japanese tangy, sweet&sour sauce that is perfect for stir fry dishes and marinades.
    • Soy Sauce - I use Kikkoman all-purpose soy sauce for this recipe. Increase the amount if you want to use a low-sodium version or add extra salt.
    • Hoisin Sauce - It is a thick&fragrant sauce common in Chinese cooking as a glaze for meat, an addition to stir fry, or as a dipping sauce. 
    • Mirin - It is a rice wine used as a flavoring in Japanese cooking. You can substitute it with dry sherry or sweet marsala wine. You can buy it from Asian shops or large supermarkets as well as from amazon.
    • Rice wine - It is made by the fermentation of rice starch, traditionally used in Asian cooking. You can substitute rice wine with Shaoxing wine or sake.
    • Oyster Sauce - It is a rich&thick sauce that is used in Chinese cuisine that is made from oyster extracts, sugar, salt, and water thickened with corn starch.
    • Cornflour - It thickens the sauce, a teaspoon is enough for the amount of sauce used in this recipe.

    Ingredients For Chicken Stir Fry Noodles

    • Chicken - Both chicken breast and thighs can be used for this recipe. If you want to use frozen chicken, thaw it overnight before marinating.
    • Vegetables - You can use any vegetables you like that are in season. The most common vegetables used for stir fry are broccoli, mushrooms (especially oyster, shiitake, or wood ears), peppers, onions, spring onions, carrots, cabbage, green beans, mange tout, cauliflower, baby sweetcorn, sugar snaps, peas, courgettes, and aubergines.
    • Noodles - To make this quick&easy dish even quicker, I usually use pre-cooked egg noodles but you can cook your own choice of noodles if you prefer.

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    Although this chicken and noodles with vegetables is a very simple recipe, you need to follow a few tips and steps to achieve the best results:

    Marinate The Chicken

    In a mixing bowl combine all the marinating ingredients.

    marinade for the chicken stir fry noodles

    Add the chicken pieces to the bowl making sure they are all covered with the marinade. 

    marinating the chicken pieces for at least an hour

    Cover the bowl with a lid or cling film, and let them marinate in the fridge for an hour (preferably 5 to 6 hours if you have time).

    Take the chickens out of the fridge half an hour before you start cooking for them to get to room temperature.

    Cook The Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and place them on a tray, keep the marinade to add to the stir fry later.

    the chicken pieces are placed in an oven dish

    Preheat the oven to 180° C (360° F) and then cook the chicken for 20-22 minutes. (The time depends on the size and cut of the chicken pieces. You can use a meat thermometer to make sure they are cooked).

    When the chicken is cooked, cover them with tin foil and let them rest while you are cooking the vegetables.

    Stir Fry The Vegetables

    Cook the egg noodles in boiling water (with salt and olive oil) until al dente. Set aside the cooked noodles.

    If you are using pre-cooked noodles, skip this step.

    Heat a large wok with vegetable oil. Add sliced carrots, broccoli, and beans (or whole mange touts, sugar snap beans), cook for a few minutes.

    stir frying the carrots and broccoli in a wok

    Add the peppers and the cabbage. Cook for a few more minutes, make sure not to overcook as they should be still crunchy.

    the cabbage, peppers and beans are added to the wok

    Add the marinade left from the chicken then add the cooked noodles.

    the noodles, the marinade and spring onions are added to the wok

    Slice the chicken breast and add them to the wok. You can add the juice that came out of the chicken while resting for extra flavor.

    chicken slices are added to the stir fried vegetables

    Stir well until all combined and then serve it with coriander, chili, or spring onion garnish on top.

    Top Tips From the Chef

    • Before cooking the chicken breasts, make sure they get to room temperature. This is necessary for chicken breasts to cook evenly.
    • When the chicken breasts are cooked, cover them with tin foil and set them aside. Resting them (or any meat) helps to preserve the juiciness of the meat.
    • Don't throw away the marinade remaining in the bowl after you marinate the chicken, as well as the juice of the cooked chicken breasts. Instead, add them to your stir fry when cooking. Adding the marinade and meat juice to your stir fry gives the dish a great flavor and adds dimension!
    • Try to cut the vegetables to the same size. This will make sure that all veggies cook evenly.
    • Make sure the vegetable oil is sizzling hot before you start cooking the vegetables. Otherwise, they will get too watery. This will cause the vegetables to lose their flavor and give them an unpleasant soft texture. Stir fry is all about cooking the veggies fast at high heat to preserve the flavors inside the ingredients.
    • Always start with the vegetables that take longer to cook and keep stirring the veggies while cooking. I like my vegetables quite crunchy but you can cook them longer if you like them soft.

    Recipe FAQs

    Do you cook noodles before adding to stir fry?

    If you are using dry noodles, you need to cook them before adding them to your stir-fry dish. For most noodles, cooking them for a few minutes in boiling water is enough. Pre-cooked noodles don't need to be cooked again and can be added straight from the packaging to the stir fry.

    This healthy, delicious, and colorful stir fry dish has only 394 kcal per portion when following the recipe with the exact amount of ingredients.
