How to Make Chicken Yaki Udon | Easy Japanese Stir-Fry Noodles


Hello everyone, welcome to my channel recipess99. Today I'm going to show you how to make chicken yaki udon, a delicious Japanese stir-fry noodle dish that is easy and quick to prepare. Chicken yaki udon is similar to yakisoba, but it uses thick and chewy udon noodles instead of thin and crispy soba noodles. It also has a simpler sauce that is made with soy sauce, gochujang, and ketchup. You can customize this dish with your favorite vegetables and protein, such as beef, pork, seafood, or tofu. Let's get started!

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

6 ounces of frozen udon noodles
1 tablespoon of olive oil
½ pound of boneless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
½ onion, sliced
½ red bell pepper, sliced
½ cup of shredded cabbage
½ cup of carrot matchsticks
1 teaspoon of minced garlic
2 tablespoons of soy sauce, or more to taste
1 tablespoon of gochujang (Korean chile paste)
1 tablespoon of ketchup
salt and pepper to taste

The first step is to cook the udon noodles according to the package directions. Usually, you just need to boil them in water for 10 to 12 minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water. Set them aside for later.

The second step is to heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken and stir-fry for about 4 minutes, or until cooked through and golden. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

The third step is to add the onion, bell pepper, cabbage, carrots, and garlic to the same skillet and stir-fry for another 4 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender. You can add a splash of water if the pan gets too dry.

The fourth step is to add the udon noodles and the sauce to the skillet and toss everything well to combine. The sauce is made by mixing the soy sauce, gochujang, and ketchup in a small bowl. You can adjust the amount of sauce and the spiciness to your liking. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes, or until the noodles are heated through and coated with the sauce.

The final step is to serve the chicken yaki udon hot, garnished with some chopped scallions or sesame seeds if you like. Enjoy this easy and tasty Japanese noodle dish with your family or friends. It's perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a satisfying lunch.
