Chicken, Edamame, and Noodle Stir-Fry

Chicken, Edamame, and Noodle Stir-Fry

A one-bowl dinner, Japanese style. If you can't find udon noodles, use linguine -- just break the noodles in half before boiling them. Edamame are green soybeans.

  • Prep Time 25 minutes
  • Total Time 25 minutes
  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • Coarse salt and ground pepper
    • 8 ounces udon noodles or linguine
    • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (6 to 8 ounces each), cut crosswise into thin strips
    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
    • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    • 1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
    • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
    • 1/2 napa cabbage (about 1 pound), thinly shredded
    • 2 cups frozen shelled edamame
    • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
    • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Directions

  1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook noodles until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain, and rinse under cold water; drain again, and set aside.
  2. While pasta is cooking, in a medium bowl, toss chicken with cornstarch; season with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Cook chicken in two batches, until light brown on the outside and opaque throughout, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate (reserve skillet).
  3. Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet; add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 1 to 3 minutes. Add cabbage, and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, 2 to 4 minutes.
  4. Add edamame, vinegar, soy sauce, chicken, and noodles; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing, until noodles and edamame are warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes.

Cook's Note

Udon noodles, made from wheat flour, have a sumptuous chewy texture. You'll find them in the Asian section of the supermarket.
