Ingredients

For the Sauce:

  • 1 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice or rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

For the Dish:

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 1 each bell pepper, seeded and sliced thin
  • 1 bunch scallions, chopped and separated into white and greens
  • 1 cup mung bean sprouts
  • 18-20 ounces vacuum-packed udon noodles

Instructions

Preparation Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the water, soy sauce, oyster sauce, lime juice (or rice vinegar), brown sugar, and sesame oil. Whisk together until the sugar is dissolved and set aside.
  • In a large skillet or wok over medium heat, add the ground chicken. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it’s browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, add the sliced mushrooms, bell pepper, and the white parts of the scallions to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  • Add the mung bean sprouts and the udon noodles to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and toss everything together until the noodles are heated through and well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with the green parts of the scallions. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Chicken Yaki Udon!
