Garlic Noodles with Teriyaki Chicken

Garlic noodles with teriyaki chicken is the ultimate comfort dish bursting with so much umami flavor! From the creamy butter sauce coating the udon to the sweet and savory teriyaki sauce glazing the BBQ chicken, it is absolute perfection from start to finish. Inspired by one of my favorite restaurants in Orange County, I hope you love this as much as I do if not more!

Making the Teriyaki Chicken

One of my go-to easy dinners I come back to every single week is teriyaki chicken. It never fails to impress and it’s just so easy to make. I typically make a batch of teriyaki sauce in advance and just keep it in the fridge whenever I’m craving it. I highly recommend this hack if you fancy it as much as I do. Here are all the ingredients you need for teriyaki sauce:

• sesame oil
• low-sodium soy sauce
• rice vinegar
• brown sugar
• black pepper
• minced garlic
• ginger paste
• water + cornstarch

Here are the ingredients you need for the chicken marinade:

• chicken thighs, boneless & skinless
• olive oil or avocado oil
• smoked paprika
• onion powder
• salt
• black pepper
• red pepper flakes

The Garlic Noodles

Garlic Noodles are one of my husband’s favorite dishes so it was very important for me to perfect the dish! It is so easy to make, you only need a handful of ingredients, and it takes about 10 minutes to make if you’re a speedster like me. The dish is also super versatile – you could keep it vegetarian, serve it with chicken, or even opt for steak! Here is everything you need:

• cooked udon noodles
• butter
• garlic
• soy sauce
• oyster sauce
• heavy cream
• parmesan
• salt
• black pepper
• white sugar

Start by melting down some butter in a pan and saute some garlic in until fragrant and toasted. Add in soy sauce, oyster sauce, heavy cream, parmesan, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Mix together well and bring to a simmer over medium heat until it thickens slightly. Taste it to make sure it’s to your liking and there you have creamy garlic butter suace in 5 minutes.

Let’s talk noodles now! My favorite noodles to use are udon noodles because they’re thick and super chewy. I just buy them from the international aisle in the grocery store and they come in precooked packages. I just flash-cook them a bit more in boiled water to make them extra chewy and soft. Feel free to use any noodles you like for this recipe though. You are not limited to udon. You can use spaghetti, bucatini, chow mein, or any sort of Asian noodles you fancy.

Once you flash boil the noodles, add them to the garlic butter sauce and toss all around to coat each nood evenly.
