Teriyaki Chicken Noodles

"We just polished off a whole pan of this stuff, it was delicious. I found this recipe in "The Mediterrasian Way", a cookbook that combines the best features of Mediterranean and Asian diets and lifestyles. I didn't see too much of the Mediterranean in this recipe though, it seems completely Asian to me. The chicken in this could be easily substituted with shrimp or scallop but adjust the cook time down to about 2 minutes for those. This was a delicious one-pan meal for us and once all the chopping is done, it's just a few minutes to cook. I made a few changes to the original recipe, according to how I prepared it."

  1. I don't want to rate this as I just used the recipe as a basis to fix some somen noodles I had. I did use the soy sauce mixture, but did not have mirin. I added some cabbage and sliced carrots and some sesame oil too, as I love the flavor of sesame oil. It turned out so well that I definitely will try to come back and make the recipe as written. It did cook VERY quickly. I didn't read instructions on the package very well to know that my noodles would be done in 2 minutes, so I was afraid they would turn into one solid block of noodles. Adding the sauce took care of that and the salad was delicious! Thanks for sharing!
     
  2. This was quite good. I tried using bean thread noodles, but I couldn't break them in half, so it was a little harder to eat in the end. I also used less (maybe 1 tsp) ginger and sub. broccoli (for my kids) for the bok choy. Very nice. Would make again. I put this into my book#234006.
     
  3. This was quite nice. I agree with WI, there is a bit too much ginger in this. I will use a little less ginger next time I make it. I used udon noodles for this and it was fine
