Teriyaki Chicken Noodles

Ingredients

  • 50ml Soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • Root ginger, loosely chopped into thin strips
  • 1 green pepper, chopped
  • 1 orange pepper, chopped
  • 100g baby corn, chopped
  • 25g mushrooms, chopped
  • 250g Fine egg noodles
  • Approx 5 spring onions
  • 8 chicken thighs, skinned and the meat diced off the bone
  • Teriyaki marinade (above)
  • Groundnut oil
  • Sesame seeds

Method

Marinade the chicken for at least half an hour. Place the Garlic, Ginger and oil in a wok and fry for 2-3 minutes, add the rest of the veg and fry for a further 5 or so minutes until softened. Meanwhile boil the noodles in a separate pan, drain and rinse with cold water to de-starch, then put into the wok with the veg. Add some more oil to keep it all from sticking and the soy sauce. Skewer the chicken and grill for 10-15 minutes until cooked, use leftover teriyaki marinade as a glaze while cooking. Serve noodles and veg in a bowl with chicken on top and sprinkle sesame seeds to garnish.
