Ingredients

  • 1 package udon soba, or spaghetti noodles
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil plus more as needed
  • 12 ounces skinless chicken breasts sliced into strips
  • Dash dark soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon five-spice powder
  • 1 teaspoon chile sauce like S’riachi, optional
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil
  • 1 red bell pepper seeded and finely sliced
  • 5 ounces snow peas
  • 1 scallion sliced lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • Freshly ground black pepper finely ground

Instructions

  • Cook the noodles for 7 minutes in a pan of boiling water until al dente, or as per the package instructions.
  • Drain, then run them under cold running water, and drain again. Drizzle with a few splashes of sesame oil, and toss through to prevent them from sticking.
  • Season the chicken with a splash of dark soy sauce, the five-spice powder, and chili sauce, if using. Mix well.
  • Coat the chicken breasts lightly with the cornstarch.
  • Heat a wok or sauté pan over a high heat, add the peanut oil, and heat until smoking.
  • Add the chicken, and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • Add the red bell pepper, and stir-fry for 1 minute, then the snow peas and green onion and cook for less than 1 minute.
  • Add the cooked noodles, and season with the light soy sauce, 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, and black pepper, to taste.
  • Stir well and serve immediately.
