2 chicken breasts1 pound/ ~ 450 g
3medium carrots
1bunch spring onions (green onions)4-5 total green onions
salt and pepperto taste
Ingredients for the sauce:
4tbsp sweet chili sauce
2tbspdark soy sauce You can replace it with one tablespoon of regular soy sauce
2tbspliquid honey
1 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
3cloves of garlic
1tbsptoasted sesame seedsoptional
Instructions
First, prepare the sauce. Pour sweet chili sauce, dark soy sauce (you can substitute with regular if needed), honey, juice from a freshly squeezed lemon, and add finely chopped garlic cloves into a bowl. Mix all the ingredients very well. Set the sauce aside.
Cook fresh Udon noodles in salted water according to the instructions on the package or slightly less. Don’t leave the noodles in the water longer than the package suggests, as they will become mushy. After cooking the Udon noodles, drain them, rinse with cold water, and set aside. To prevent the noodles from sticking together, you can add a little (I emphasize a little, just the necessary amount) of vegetable or sesame oil and gently mix.
Slice the carrots into fairly thin sticks or strips, and cut the chicken breast in half lengthwise, then slice each half into thin strips.
Season the meat well with salt and pepper on both sides, and cut the green onion/spring onion into small pieces. The length of the pieces is up to you – cut them to your preference.
Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the chicken breasts. After frying, set them aside. Then immediately add the carrots to the pan and sauté them for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
When the carrots are ready, immediately add the chicken you set aside earlier and the Udon noodles, then pour in the sauce. Mix well. Finally, add the green onions and sauté everything for just under a minute, stirring frequently. You can sprinkle everything with sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
