TERIYAKI CHICKEN NOODLE BOWLS

A quick fix dinner made in less than 30 min. And the teriyaki sauce is completely homemade and way better than store-bought!

Noodle bowls are my weakness.

It’s your protein and your carbs neatly packed into one bowl. Convenient, right?

And with this homemade teriyaki sauce, it won’t even come close to take-out.

It won’t even take as long as ordering take-out!

Now don’t be worried about the 1 hour prep time. 45-50 min of it is idle time.

Once the teriyaki sauce is made and the chicken is marinating, you can cook everything else in 10 minutes.

See?

I told you it would be a quick-fix dinner!

TERIYAKI CHICKEN NOODLE BOWLS

A quick fix dinner made in less than 30 min. And the teriyaki sauce is completely homemade and way better than store-bought!

INGREDIENTS:

2 (5.6-ounce) packages refrigerated Yaki-Soba, seasoning sauce packets discarded*

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/3 cup reduced sodium soy sauce

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

2.In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 1/4 cup water; set aside.

3.In a small saucepan over medium heat, add soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, honey and 1 cup water; bring to a simmer. Stir in cornstarch mixture until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 2 minutes; let cool to room temperature. Reserve 1/4 cup and set aside.
