Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breast
- 8 ounces Soba noodles
- 6 stalks Scallions (green onions)
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (fresh, grated)
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the soba noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white parts from the green tops.
Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Set them aside.
Cut the chicken breasts into thin slices or bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the white parts of the scallions, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet, along with the soy sauce, mirin, and sesame oil. Stir well to coat the chicken in the sauce.
Add the cooked soba noodles to the skillet and toss everything together until evenly combined and heated through.
Remove from heat and garnish with the green tops of the scallions before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy!
