Teriyaki Chicken Noodle Bowl

Teriyaki Chicken Noodle Bowl incorporates udon noodles with chicken and broccoli, all covered in a homemade teriyaki sauce.

When we lived in Orlando, we would go to a restaurant called Bentos and I would always get Teriyaki Chicken Noodle Bowls every time. It was so good…. udon noodles, chicken, and broccoli with teriyaki sauce. It seemed like such a simple meal, but I never made it for myself.

Part of the problem was finding the udon noodles. I had been looking for a long time, both in Florida and Texas, and finally found some udon noodles at our local HEB grocery store! So, I bought them, hoping to make a copycat recipe, and got really close on my first try!

I used the recipe for homemade teriyaki sauce from my 100 Days of Real Food book and just decided to wing it from there to make my own teriyaki sauce. As I said, the ingredients seemed easy, so I just started cooking to see what we ended up with. 

Well, it’s not precisely Bentos because I’m sure they have some secret ingredient in their delicious sauce. But it satisfied that craving for me. And it’s good enough to have at home since we aren’t anywhere near Bentos anymore!

Substitutions & Additions

Next time I want to try to add some bell peppers into the mix. I think some chopped red bell pepper would be a great addition to this easy recipe. Justin said he would add some red pepper flakes to give it a bit of a kick but I prefer to keep it a sweet teriyaki sauce.

You can also add any of the following:

• Ramen noodles, rice noodles, lo mein noodles, or other Asian noodles in place of the udon noodles
• Diced spring onion or green onions
• Snow peas or snap peas or any of your favorite veggies
• Chicken thighs instead of chicken breast if you prefer dark meat
• Baby corn
• Water chestnuts

Teriyaki Chicken Noodle Bowl Step by Step

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 2 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 7 oz udon noodles
• 1 bunch broccoli (chopped)
• 2 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless, cut into strips)

Preparation

In a small mixing bowl, use a wire whisk to combine the soy sauce, cilantro, ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and garlic to make your teriyaki sauce. 

In a medium saucepan, sauté the broccoli over medium-high heat in one tbsp of olive oil for about 5-7 minutes, until it starts to brown. 

Remove the broccoli from the pan. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and sauté the chicken until it is cooked through and golden brown.

Return the broccoli to the pan and pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and broccoli. 

Gently add the udon noodles until they are covered with the sauce. Stir until the noodles are soft. Mix the cooked noodles with the rest of the meal.

Serve warm garnished with sesame seeds. 

Teriyaki Chicken Noodle Bowl Leftovers

Storage: The best way to store leftovers is in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. If you know you will have leftovers, I suggest leaving the noodles al dente so they can soften when you reheat the meal.

Reheating: For the best results, reheat leftovers in a small sauce pan over medium heat until warmed through, about 5-10 minutes. If the sauce is too thick or has absorbed into the chicken and noodles, add a small amount of water or chicken broth as it heats.
