Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 ounces noodles (ramen, udon, or egg noodles)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  2. Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
