Ingredients
16 oz Chicken breast (chopped into cubes)1 package of chinese noodles1 package of mixed vegetables (I prefer corn, peas, carrots, string beans, and broccoli, and frozen peppers2 tbsp. of butter1 to 2 tsp. of chopped garlic2 or more tbsp. of Japanese Mirin (dry sherry could be used)3-4 tbsp. of Kikkoman lite soy sauce1 tbsp. of Tamari Soy Sauce (you could just stick with regular soy sauce)2 tbsp. Sweet rice cooking wine1 tbsp. peanut oil (or sesame oil).5 tsp of ground ginger.25 tsp. chili paste (add more for more kick)1 tbsp sesame seeds1 tsp black pepper
Directions
Serving size is 5-6 for moderately hungry people, and 4 for very hungry people.

Defrost the chicken and vegetables as needed (the microwave will be fine, or you could also steam the vegetables)

-Take a large frying pan or wok (something with tall enough sides so that the food won't fall out while cooking) and turn the burner on high heat.
-Put the 2 tbsp. of butter in the frying pan and let the butter melt (I also spray with cooking spray for added flavor)
-Add the garlic and and cook for one minute
-Add the chopped chicken and sauté until the chicken is cooked throughout. Lower the heat to medium high
-While the chicken is cooking, boil water in a small saucepan (for the noodles)
-Add 1 tbsp of peanut or sesame oil to the chicken
-Add the defrosted vegetables and mix into the chicken. Cook for about five minutes
-Once the water is boiling, add the noodles. Cook for about three minutes
-While the noodles are cooking, add the mirin, soy sauces, cooking wine, chili paste, ginger, pepper, and sesame seeds, mixing thoroughly
-Once the noodles are cooked, drain the water, and pour the noodles into the pan with the chicken. Turn off the heat and mix thoroughly with the chicken.
-Now eat :-)
