Ingredients

    16 oz Chicken breast (chopped into cubes)
    1 package of chinese noodles
    1 package of mixed vegetables (I prefer corn, peas, carrots, string beans, and broccoli, and frozen peppers
    2 tbsp. of butter
    1 to 2 tsp. of chopped garlic
    2 or more tbsp. of Japanese Mirin (dry sherry could be used)
    3-4 tbsp. of Kikkoman lite soy sauce
    1 tbsp. of Tamari Soy Sauce (you could just stick with regular soy sauce)
    2 tbsp. Sweet rice cooking wine
    1 tbsp. peanut oil (or sesame oil)
    .5 tsp of ground ginger
    .25 tsp. chili paste (add more for more kick)
    1 tbsp sesame seeds
    1 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 :-)
