Teriyaki Chicken Noodle Bowls
A quick fix dinner made in less than 30 min. And the teriyaki sauce is completely homemade and way better than store-bought!
Noodle bowls are my weakness.
It’s your protein and your carbs neatly packed into one bowl. Convenient, right?
And with this homemade teriyaki sauce, it won’t even come close to take-out.
It won’t even take as long as ordering take-out!
Now don’t be worried about the 1 hour prep time. 45-50 min of it is idle time.
Once the teriyaki sauce is made and the chicken is marinating, you can cook everything else in 10 minutes.
See?
I told you it would be a quick-fix dinner!
Teriyaki Chicken Noodle Bowls
Ingredients
- 2 5.6-ounce packages refrigerated Yaki-Soba, seasoning sauce packets discarded*
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ⅓ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
- In a large pot of boiling water, add Yaki-Soba until loosened, about 1-2 minutes; drain well.
- In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 1/4 cup water; set aside.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, add soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, honey and 1 cup water; bring to a simmer. Stir in cornstarch mixture until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 2 minutes; let cool to room temperature. Reserve 1/4 cup and set aside.
- In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine soy sauce mixture and chicken; marinate for at least 30 minutes to overnight, turning the bag occasionally. Drain the chicken from the marinade.

Have never heard of or seen Yaki-Sobi noodles; what could you recommend as an alternate? I was thinking yet ca men noodles.
You can really use any noodles that you see fit – I prefer Yaki-Soba noodles because they cook through so quickly! 🙂
This recipe looks amazing! Since I am vegetarian do you think it will work with tofu?
Yes, absolutely.

Mary, this came off very rude. Goodness!
Jacque, your comment to Mary came off rude. So rude!!! Goodness
I am not a huge fan of ginger does this have a strong ginger taste?
Not at all, but you can omit as needed to suit your preferences.
I am gluten-free. Would it be ok to make this with soba (buckwheat) noodles? It seems that most of your recipes are pretty adaptable to gluten free and I appreciate that.
Yes, absolutely.
I am also gluten free and have made this with rice noodles (both wide and vermicelli) and it’s delicious.
