For the Chicken and Noodles

½ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons water
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

How to Make Hibachi Chicken Noodles

1. Make the Yum Yum Sauce

Add the mayonnaise, Sriracha, ketchup, rice vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, and salt to a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy with an even consistency. Cover and refrigerate while preparing the noodles and chicken so the flavors have time to blend.

2. Prepare the Garlic-Soy Sauce

In another small bowl, combine the reduced-sodium soy sauce, brown sugar, toasted sesame oil, water, and minced garlic. Whisk until the sugar is mostly dissolved, then set the mixture aside.

3. Loosen the Yakisoba Noodles

Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the yakisoba noodles and cook for just 1 minute, or according to the package directions needed to loosen them.

Drain thoroughly and set aside. Avoid cooking them too long because they will finish cooking in the skillet.

4. Stir-Fry the Broccoli

Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, tossing frequently.

The broccoli should become bright green and tender-crisp with a few lightly charred spots. Transfer it to a plate and set aside.

5. Cook the Chicken

Melt the butter in the same wok or skillet. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer. If the pan is crowded, cook the chicken in two batches to encourage browning instead of steaming.

Cook until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), about 5 minutes per batch.

6. Add the Sauce

Return all of the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour in the prepared garlic-soy sauce and bring it to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces slightly and forms a glossy coating around the chicken.

7. Toss in the Noodles and Broccoli

Add the softened yakisoba noodles and cooked broccoli to the skillet. Toss everything together for 1 to 2 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the savory sauce and the broccoli to heat through.

Continue tossing until the chicken, vegetables, noodles, and sauce are evenly combined.

8. Garnish and Serve

Divide the hot hibachi chicken noodles among serving bowls or plates. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately with the chilled Yum Yum sauce on the side for drizzling or dipping.

Helpful Cooking Tips

Prepare Everything First

Hibachi-style cooking moves quickly, so chop the chicken and broccoli and measure your sauces before heating the skillet. Having everything ready makes the cooking process much easier.

Keep the Noodles Firm

Cook the yakisoba noodles for only about 1 minute to loosen them. They will continue cooking when tossed with the hot sauce, chicken, and vegetables.

Avoid Crowding the Pan

If necessary, cook the chicken in batches. Giving each piece enough space helps it brown beautifully instead of releasing moisture and steaming.

Add More Vegetables

Broccoli is delicious here, but you can also add sliced mushrooms, carrots, baby corn, bell peppers, or other stir-fry vegetables.

Serve Immediately

These noodles are best enjoyed hot, while the sauce is glossy and the vegetables still have some crunch.
