Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup chicken broth
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 8 oz noodles (cooked according to package instructions)
- 1 tablespoon oil (olive, avocado, or sesame oil)
- 1 lb chicken (sliced into strips)
- 2 large carrots (sliced)
- 1 large onion (sliced)
- 2 cups broccoli (cut into florets)
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce by whisking together chicken broth, brown sugar, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Slice the carrots, onion, and broccoli into 2-inch pieces. Slice the chicken into strips.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Add more oil to the wok if needed, and sauté the onions in the chicken drippings for 3-4 minutes. Add the carrots and cook for another 3-4 minutes until soft. Stir in the broccoli and cook for 3 minutes more. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
- Return the chicken and onions to the wok. Pour the sauce over the mixture and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
- Add the cooked noodles to the wok, tossing everything together until the noodles are coated in the sauce. Remove from heat.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken in soy sauce and sesame oil for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Ensure your wok is hot enough to sear the chicken and vegetables, which adds flavor through caramelization.
- If you’re using gluten-free noodles, ensure the soy sauce is also gluten-free (tamari works well).
- Don’t overcook the chicken or vegetables to maintain a tender texture.
