Spicy Udon Noodles

One of my personal favorite things to make for a quick and easy meal is this Udon Noodles recipe. I have eaten these noodles like these for most of my life; being brought up in a home where noodles and rice are a main staple for the table. If you look in my cabinets you will find a box of these noodles from the local grocery. The chew of a Udon Noodle is an elegant experience that heightens the sophistication of a simple work with what you got meal. I generally have the majority of these ingredients on hand or only need to grab one or two things at the store to complete the meal. I keep some Thai peppers in the refrigerator to nibble on while I work my way through a heaping serving. This is also simple to warm up later and keeps great under refrigeration. A couple of microwaveable dishes in the fridge for a pop and go reheat meal at home or in the office.

These noodles sit easy on the stomach but are filling at the same time. Thick delicious sauce coated noodles that burst with smooth natural flavors and are as versatile as your preferences on any given day. They basically will go well with any kinda of vegetable you got in the house.

      Asian Honey Chicken Breast

      Sweet moist tender chicken that is smothered in honey infused sweetness. Healthy, easy to make Asian Honey Chicken Breast is a quick meal for a busy day. These breasts are covered with amazing flavors, they are sweet, tangy, garlicky with a mouthwatering finish. I was inspired to refine this recipe because we live about 3 hours from the closest good Chinese restaurant. I do not have to pay restaurant prices for an easy to make at home meal for half the cost. May family loves this dish and I am sure yours will too.

      Asian Honey Chicken Breasts are easily prepared at home. Change up the way you have your Chicken Breast family pack by watching the video and following the instructions below.

      Clean and slice the chicken in half – lengthwise (4 filets). Optional: Use a meat pounder to tenderize the each chicken to an even â…“” thick.

      Season both sides of the breasts with salt & pepper. Place the flour in a shallow bowl. Coat both sides of the chicken with flour.

      Then gently shake off the excess.

      Heat the pan up to medium-high. Add 2 tbsp butter (wait until it melts). Add chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes per-side or until lightly golden brown. Depending on the size of the pan, you may need to do this is 2 batches. Remove breast and set aside. 

      Add butter and wait for 30 seconds. Add garlic, soy sauce, honey, vinegar and mix.

      Return chicken to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce has reduced by about half.

      Flip the chicken every minute or so to get a good coat of sauce.

          Stir-Fry Chicken Udon Noodles

          Stir Fry Chicken Udon is a savory and delicious dish that is a great option for a quality meal on a budget. Udon noodles are normally produced with a more delicate wheat than Italian pasta, which creates a bit softer texture. They can be found at Japanese (Asian) markets and in many grocery stores or supermarkets. Similar to Chinese style noodles these are great in a stir fry. Also feel free to substitute the meat with pork, shrimp (your choice of protein), or almost any vegetable you may like. My family loves this recipe and I am sure yours will too.

          Add carrots and cook for 1-2 minutes.

          Add noodles and sauce. Mix the sauce with the noodles. Turn up the heat to high.
