Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sesame Chicken with Soba Noodles.
Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a lively boil.
Step 2
Once it’s bubbling, gently add the soba noodles and let them cook uncovered, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
You want them to be tender yet still have a delightful bite, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 4
When they’re ready, drain the noodles and give them a quick rinse under cold water to halt the cooking process and keep them perfectly al dente.
Step 5
Next, grab a large skillet and combine soy sauce and brown sugar over medium heat.
Step 6
As the mixture warms up, add in the cubed chicken.
Step 7
Stir frequently, allowing the chicken to cook until it’s no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, which should take another 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 8
Once the chicken is cooked through, transfer it to a bowl and sprinkle with sesame seeds, tossing gently to coat every piece evenly.
Step 9
In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, rice vinegar, and freshly grated ginger until everything is beautifully blended.
Step 10
Now it’s time to assemble your dish! Divide the mixed salad greens among four plates, creating a vibrant base.
Step 11
Top each plate with a generous portion of the soba noodles and the sesame chicken, making sure to showcase that delicious glaze.
Step 12
Finally, drizzle the ginger vinaigrette over the top for a burst of flavor just before serving.
Step 13
Enjoy this delightful meal that’s not only satisfying but also a feast for the eyes!.
