How to Make Garlic Ginger Chicken
Step #1: Place the chicken breasts in a zipper-close bag. Whisk together the ginger, soy sauce, grapeseed oil, garlic, and honey in a small bowl. Pour this mixture over the chicken and seal the bag, pressing out excess air as you do. Marinate the chicken for 5-10 minutes in the refrigerator. When I cook at home, I can make anything I want! I know that I’m going to like it, and it’s so much more cost-effective than eating out. I love to recreate my favorite dishes and food cravings at home, which is how this Garlic Ginger Chicken with Sesame Noodles came into my life. Step #2: Meanwhile, heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, transfer the chicken from the bag, reserving the marinade, and cook for 3 minutes on one side. Then, turn the chicken, reduce the heat to low, and pour in the reserved marinade along with ½ cup of water. Cover the pan and let it cook for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, turn off the heat and let the chicken rest for another 5 minutes. Step #3: Meanwhile, heat a wok or another large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 2-4 minutes. Add the sesame oil, white and light green scallion pieces, and yakisoba noodles, tossing well to mix. Add 2 tablespoons of water, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar to the pan. Toss well and cook until the noodles are slightly browned and warmed through, about 3-5 minutes. Step #4: Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board. Slice it against the grain into strips. Divide the noodles into two bowls, then place one sliced chicken breast on top of each. Garnish with dark green scallion pieces and sesame seeds if desired. Serving Suggestions: This dish pairs well with a light, crisp salad or steamed vegetables. You can also serve with a side of pickled ginger to complement the flavors. You can reheat it in the microwave, covering the dish with a damp paper towel to retain moisture, for about 2-3 minutes, or in a skillet over medium heat until heated through. Add a splash of water if necessary to prevent drying out.
