For the Sauce
STEP ONE: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauces, hoisin, oyster sauce, rice wine vinegar, sriracha and white pepper. Set it aside.
For the Chicken, Noodles and Vegetables
STEP ONE: In a 3 to 4-quart saucepan, over medium-high heat, bring to a low boil 6 cups of water.

STEP FOUR: Keep the skillet on medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil.
STEP FIVE: Add the diced red peppers, mushrooms, and diced onions. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, until the onion and peppers are slightly tender.
STEP SIX: Add in the broccoli and sauté just until the broccoli begins to turn a vibrant green.
STEP SEVEN: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute.
STEP EIGHT: Add the chicken to the vegetable mixture and stir to combine. Turn the stovetop heat off.

My family loves this recipe. All 3 of my children have seconds and sometimes thirds. I marinate the raw chicken peices in some of the teriyaki sauce in the refrigerator and it makes it very tender. My family doesnโt even want to get takeout from our local Japanese restaurant anymore. Love this!!!!

My husband and I love this meal. So tasty and easy to make. We have made it three times since finding the recipe. My husband has kidney issues so I used coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Still a fantastic taste.
