Teriyaki Chicken & Tofu Noodles


Another easy meal to prepare. For those who would prefer a vegetarian version, just remove the chicken from the recipe.

Ingredients:-

- Oil for frying
- 400g taukwa, sliced (it's the hard white tofu which can be sliced)
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 115g baby corn, halved lengthwise (you can use those from the tins)
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
-  2 tbsps light soy sauce
- 2 tbsps sweet chilli sauce
- 400g packet yellow noodles
- 3 stalks spring onions, chopped

1. Heat oil in a wok over high fire. Use more cooking oil to fry the taukwa so that it will not stick to the base of the wok. Pat dry the slice taukwa and fry in 2 batches until golden. Remove and set aside.
2. Pour off the excess oil but leave about 1 tbsp in the wok, stir-fry chicken for about 1 minute. Add the broccoli and corn and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes over medium fire until just tender. Add teriyaki sauce, light soy sauce and chilli sauce. Mix well.
3. Add noodles and spring onions. Sitr-fry for about 1-2 minutes until heated through.
4. Return taukwa to wok and toss ingredients together for another minute until well combined. Serve hot.

**Note**

- When rinsing the noodles, just running through cold water and DO NOT soak.
- Ensure you have enough cooking oil for frying the taukwa and ensure that oil is hot before deep frying the taukwa.
- For the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce and chilli sauce, I would recommend for you to pre-mix the sauces first before adding in so that it is already well mixed.

I just had this meal for lunch just now and it tasted good!!! Have fun cooking!
