Chicken Scallion Noodles are a savory, quick stir-fry made with tender chicken, fresh scallions, and noodles tossed in a rich soy-garlic sauce. Ready in just 25 minutes, it’s a comforting one-pan meal bursting with umami flavor and freshness.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (regular or low-sodium)
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce or hoisin sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger (optional)
  • 6 scallions (green onions), sliced (white and green parts separated)
  • 8 oz noodles (lo mein, udon, ramen, or spaghetti)
  • 1 tsp brown sugar or honey
  • 2 tbsp vegetable or peanut oil (for stir-frying)
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes or chili oil (optional, for heat)

Instructions

  1. Cook noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and toss with sesame oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Season sliced chicken with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and stir-fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining oil to the pan. Add garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the scallions. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water. Simmer for 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Return chicken and noodles to the pan. Toss everything together until evenly coated with sauce.
  7. Add the green parts of the scallions and drizzle with sesame oil. Stir-fry for another 30 seconds.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with extra scallions or a drizzle of chili oil if desired.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to control saltiness.
  • Add vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, or mushrooms for more nutrition.
  • Lo mein or udon noodles give the best chewy texture.
  • Double the sauce for extra coating or serving with rice.
  • Scramble an egg in the pan before adding noodles for added protein.
