Ingredients
For the Sauce (prep first)
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
For the Stir Fry
- 8 ounces udon noodles substitute with lo mein, spaghetti, linguini
- 2 chicken breast sliced into ½-inch thin strips
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic freshly minced
- 1 cup carrots sliced to matchsticks
- 1 cup red onion thinly sliced
- 1 cup spinach fresh
- Pinch of salt for boiling noodles
Instructions
- Prep the Sauce. In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside. Tip: This recipe moves quickly, so having the sauce ready first is key.
- Cook the Noodles. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the udon noodles and cook according to package directions. Drain and rinse thoroughly with cold water (while tossing with tongs) to stop the cooking process. Add a handful of ice cubes while straining to cool them quickly. Set aside.
- Cook the Garlic. Heat olive oil and sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Do not let it brown.
- Cook the Chicken. Add sliced chicken in as flat of a layer as possible for even cooking. Increase heat to medium. Cook 5-8 minutes, flipping every few minutes, until lightly browned on the outside and fully cooked through (the chicken should be white throughout). Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
- Cook the Vegetables. In the same wok over medium heat, add carrots and red onion. Cook 5–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Bring It All Together. Add the cooked chicken back into the wok with the drained noodles and prepared sauce. Top with fresh spinach. Toss everything together and cook on medium for a couple of minutes, until the sauce coats the noodles and the spinach begins to wilt. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Prep first: This stir fry comes together fast. Have everything sliced, measured, and ready before turning on the stove.
- Noodle swap: Lo mein noodles or spaghetti / linguini work great if you don’t have udon — they’ll just be slightly thinner.
- Ice bath trick: Adding ice cubes while draining noodles keeps them from overcooking and helps prevent sticking.
- Even cooking tip: Lay the chicken in a single layer so it browns instead of steaming.
Garlic watch: Keep the heat moderate so the garlic doesn’t brown and turn bitter. - Wok alternative: A large skillet works perfectly if you don’t have a wok.
- Veggie flexibility: You can easily add mushrooms, snap peas, or cabbage for extra texture.
