Ingredients
Scale
For the noodles:
- 8 ounces spaghetti or ramen noodles
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the teriyaki chicken:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (slurry)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
For garnish:
- Sliced green onions
- Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the noodles: Prepare the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain them well and set aside while you prepare the rest of the dish.
- Make the teriyaki sauce: In a small saucepan, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Cook the chicken: Slice the chicken into strips or bite-sized pieces. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5–7 minutes until it is nicely browned and cooked through. Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the chicken, toss well to coat, then remove from heat and keep warm.
- Prepare the garlic noodles: In another skillet or wok, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned. Add brown sugar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Toss in the cooked noodles and stir well until they are fully coated in the garlic sauce.
- Serve: Plate the garlic noodles and top them with the teriyaki chicken. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy your flavorful and comforting meal!
Notes
- You can substitute tofu or shrimp for the chicken to suit your preference.
- For extra heat, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the garlic sauce.
- Use dairy-free butter to make this recipe dairy-free.
- If you prefer a thicker teriyaki sauce, allow it to simmer a bit longer after adding the slurry.
