Ingredients

  • 3-4 tablespoons chili paste
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 6 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped ginger
  • 1 pound thinly sliced chicken breasts, thighs, or ground chicken
  • 2 cups frozen stir fry veggies
  • 1/4 cup chopped scallions
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro/Thai basil, for serving

Equipment

  • Wooden Spoon
  • Saucepan
  • Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Chef's Knife

Method
 

  1. 1. Start by cooking the udon noodles according to the package directions. Make sure to stir them occasionally so they don’t stick together. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
  2. 2. While the noodles are cooking, take a bowl and combine the soy sauce, chili paste, rice vinegar, honey, toasted sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and 1/4 cup of water. Whisk everything together until well combined. This will be your flavorful sauce.
  3. 3. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and season with black pepper. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  4. 4. After the chicken is cooked through, add the frozen stir-fry veggies to the skillet. Stir them into the chicken, and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. You want the veggies to be tender yet crisp, maintaining their vibrant colors.
  5. 5. Slowly pour in the sauce mixture from the bowl into the skillet with the chicken and veggies. Stir everything together and allow it to come to a low simmer. This is where the magic begins, as the flavors meld together beautifully.
  6. 6. Add the cooked udon noodles to the skillet. Gently toss them in the sauce and mix well until everything is evenly coated. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, letting the noodles soak up all that delicious sauce.
  7. 7. Once everything is heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly, remove the skillet from the heat. It should smell heavenly at this point!
  8. 8. Serve the Honey Garlic Chicken Udon Noodles warm. Top each serving with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds, chopped scallions, and fresh cilantro or Thai basil. Enjoy every flavorful bite!
