- 2 cloves Garlic crushed
- 3 Tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoons teriyaki sauce
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 Teaspoon black pepper
- 9 oz Rice noodles
- 2 Tablespoons sesame oil
- Sesame seeds for garnish if desired
For the Sauce:
- 1 clove Garlic crushed,
- 1/2 inch piece of fresh ginger finely chopped
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1/4 Cup soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoon hot chili sauce
- 2 Cups water
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon corn flour
- 2 Tablespoons cold water
Instructions
- Place the chicken breast between two sheets of parchment paper. Using a kitchen hammer, flatten out the chicken breast to about 1 inch thickness.
- In a large shallow dish, combine the garlic, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, brown sugar and pepper and whisk to combine.
- Put the chicken in the marinade, coat it completely and set aside.
- Make the sauce in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Add the olive oil, garlic and ginger. Stir for just a minute until it becomes aromatic. Add the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, hot chilli sauce, water and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer and stir well. In a small glass combine the corn flour with the 2 tablespoons of water. Stir well and add to the simmering sauce until it thickens. Remove from heat.
- In a large skillet set over medium to high heat, add one tablespoon of the sesame oil. Add chicken breast and cook each side for 5-7 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from heat and transfer to a wooden cutting board. Cut the chicken into strips.
- Cook the noodles in a large sauce pan of boiling water for just about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and drain.
- In a large wok set over medium heat, add remaining tablespoon of sesame oil and toss in the broccoli. Cook for about 5 minutes, tossing as it cooks. With the wok still over the heat, add the chicken to the broccoli and give a good toss. Add the noodles and pour over the sauce. Stir really well until combined. Serve straight away. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
