Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked egg noodles
- 1 pound cooked chicken breast, sliced
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, broccoli)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Optional toppings: green onions, sesame seeds
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Ensure the cooked egg noodles are ready, and slice the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Rinse and chop the mixed vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil and allow it to heat for about 30 seconds until it shimmers.
- Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. You want them to retain some color and texture.
- Once the vegetables are cooked, add the sliced cooked chicken breast to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the vegetables and heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
- Next, add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet. Pour the soy sauce over the mixture, and gently toss everything together using tongs or a spatula. Ensure the noodles are well coated with the sauce and mixed with the chicken and vegetables.
- Continue to stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the noodles to heat through. If the mixture seems dry, you can add a splash of water or additional soy sauce to help combine.
- Once everything is heated through and well combined, remove the skillet from the heat. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more soy sauce if desired.
- To serve, divide the stir-fry into four bowls. Optionally, garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
- Enjoy your delicious Chicken Egg Noodle Stir Fry while it's hot!
Tips
- Prep is Key: Have all ingredients chopped and ready before you start cooking. This ensures a smooth, stress-free stir-frying experience.
- High Heat, Quick Cooking: Use a wok or large skillet on medium-high heat to achieve that perfect restaurant-style sear and prevent vegetables from becoming soggy.
- Noodle Pro Tip: If using pre-cooked noodles, rinse them in warm water to prevent clumping and ensure they're heated evenly.
- Vegetable Variety: Feel free to swap or add different vegetables based on what's in season or your personal preference. Just keep the pieces roughly the same size for even cooking.
- Sauce Customization: Adjust the soy sauce to your taste. For a spicier kick, add a dash of sriracha or chili oil.
- Protein Flexibility: While chicken works great, you can easily substitute with tofu, shrimp, or beef to mix things up.
- Garnish Generously: The green onions and sesame seeds aren't just for looks - they add a fresh crunch and nutty flavor that elevates the entire dish.
