Ingredients
Scale
1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, thinly sliced
14 oz fresh or frozen udon noodles
2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp cornstarch
½ tsp black pepper
1 small onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup sliced mushrooms
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
3 green onions, sliced
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
½ cup chicken broth
½ tsp red pepper flakes, optional
1 tbsp sesame seeds, for serving
Sliced green onions, for serving
Red chili slices, optional, for serving
Instructions
Toss the sliced chicken with soy sauce, cornstarch, and black pepper. Set aside for 10 minutes.
Cook the udon according to the package directions. Drain and rinse briefly under cold water to separate the noodles. Set aside.
Whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chicken broth, and red pepper flakes to make the sauce.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and stir-fry for 4–6 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Add the onion, bell pepper, broccoli, carrots, and mushrooms. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until crisp-tender.
Add the garlic and ginger and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Return the chicken to the skillet. Add the cooked udon noodles and pour in the sauce.
Stir-fry everything together for 2–3 minutes, tossing gently until the noodles are coated and the sauce becomes glossy.
Stir in the green onions. Remove from the heat.
Divide among bowls and garnish with sesame seeds, extra green onions, and sliced chili if desired.
