Tips

To make silky soft chicken, use a "wash" of baking soda to clean the chicken breasts after cutting them. Put them in a glass bowl and sprinkle baking soda over them and rub them to work the soda through the pieces. Then rinse the breasts off, removing them from the water and re-rinsing until the water is clear. Your chicken will be silky and tender when cooked after this is done. They also cook quicker.


Directions

You will need a deep pot or wok.
1. Put 2 tbsp. of peanut oil in the pot or wok and allow to heat. Add the chicken breast and stir for about 15 min. Add Teriyaki sauce after 10 min. to the chicken and allow to cook in it. Remove the chicken from the pot/wok.
2. Before I start the vegetables cooking, I place the noodles in a large pan and cover with hot water to soften. When soft/tender [it only takes minutes], strain them and return to the pan. Cut them with a scissors [it's fast] snipping them into 1/2 inch pieces.
3. Put remaining oil into the pot/wok and stir-fry the vegetables until desired tenderness [I do NOT like them too crunchy/crisp]. I put the vegetables in in this order so they are all about the same tenderness:
leek, garlic and ginger
carrots and celery
broccoli and cauliflower
cabbage
peppers
As each addition starts to brighten its color and soften a bit, I add the next addition. I cover this for a few minutes [it cooks fast, so don't leave it more than a minute before stirring again]. This will take about 15-20 min.
4. Add the chicken back to the vegetables and allow to cook for 5-10 minutes with it. Then, add the noodles and stir together.
ENJOY. This can also be made minus the meat for a simple vegetable/noodle stir-fry.
