Directions

Prep 15 minCook 30 min
  1. 1

    Slice chicken thighs into strips. Heat half of the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sauté until cooked through to 165°F and no longer pink, about 7-10 minutes.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, ginger, and Sriracha; set aside.

  3. 3

    In a large pot of boiling water, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions; drain well.

  4. 4

    Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic, mushrooms, bell pepper, and carrot. Cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in peas and spinach until the spinach has wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Stir in the egg noodles, cooked chicken, and soy sauce mixture, and gently toss to combine. Serve immediately.
