For the Chicken Teriyaki Noodles
1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
12 ounces fresh or frozen udon noodles

2 cups broccoli florets
1 cup sliced cabbage

Instructions
Step 1: Make the Teriyaki Sauce
In a small saucepan, whisk together soy sauce, water, mirin, brown sugar, honey, garlic, and ginger.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
Slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry and continue simmering for 2–3 minutes until thickened.
Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2: Marinate the Chicken
Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
Pour 1/4 cup of the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and toss to coat.
Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
Step 3: Cook the Chicken
Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken and stir-fry for about 5 minutes until browned and fully cooked.
Transfer the chicken to a plate.
Step 4: Cook the Vegetables
In the same pan, add the onion and carrots.
Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until slightly softened.
Add broccoli, cabbage, garlic, and ginger, then cook for another 2–3 minutes until crisp-tender.
Step 5: Cook the Noodles
Cook the udon noodles according to package directions until al dente.
Drain and rinse under cold water.
Step 6: Combine Everything
Return the cooked chicken to the pan.
Add the noodles and remaining teriyaki sauce.
Toss everything together and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes until heated through and evenly coated.
Step 7: Serve
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
Marinating the chicken for 1 hour gives the best flavor.
Udon noodles can be replaced with ramen noodles or rice noodles.
Add mushrooms, bell peppers, or snap peas for extra vegetables.
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey and brown sugar.
