Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by bringing a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the udon noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually around 5-7 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add more sesame oil if needed. Increase heat to high, toss in bell peppers and carrots, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender.
  4. Return chicken to the skillet and add udon noodles, soy sauce, and vegetable broth. Stir to coat and heat for 2-3 minutes.
  5. In the final minute, add minced garlic and mix well. Serve topped with chopped green onions.
  6. Transfer Yaki Udon Noodles onto plates or bowls, and drizzle extra soy sauce if desired.
