How to Make Fried Noodles Stir-Fry

Add fried noodles to your stir-fry.

Adding fried noodles to a basic stir-fry is a great way to impress dinner guests with a less-common but delicious home-cooked meal. Also known as chow mein, stir-fried noodles typically include a variety of vegetables, like onions, carrots and green peppers.

Things You'll Need

• Stove with two large burners
• Large bowl
• Wooden spoon
• Frozen vegetable stir-fry mix
• 16 ounce package of spaghetti noodles
• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast
• Vegetable oil
• Salt
• Pepper
• Kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce

Instructions

1. Place the noodles in a large pot of boiling water, turn heat to low and cover.

2. Dice and slice the chicken into half-inch pieces. Cook in an open skillet on high with an eight cup of vegetable oil and quarter cup of teriyaki sauce. Stir frequently. Make sure the chicken is cooked thoroughly, then empty all contents of the skillet into the large bowl.

3. Empty the stir-fry vegetable mix into the same skillet you used to cook the chicken. Cook in an open skillet on high with an eighth cup of vegetable oil and quarter cup of teriyaki sauce. Stir frequently. When the vegetables are cooked and browning slightly, empty the skillet into the large bowl.

4. Check to see if the spaghetti noodles are cooked thoroughly. Take out one noodle with a fork. When the noodle is cool enough to touch, throw it at the ceiling. If it doesn't stick, the noodles need to cook a little longer. Repeat this test until the noodles are ready.

5. Drain and rinse the noodles and put a third of them into the skillet. Cook in an open skillet on high with an eighth cup of vegetable oil and quarter cup of teriyaki sauce. When the oil and sauce are no longer puddling in the pan, empty the contents of the skillet into the large bowl. Repeat this step with the remaining noodles.

6. Add 1 tsp. of salt and 1/2 tsp. of pepper. Stir all contents of the bowl together. Serve immediately.
