Chicken Yakisoba

Connie Veneracion
The Japanese stir fried noodles that is traditionally cooked with pork gets a makeover in this chicken yakisoba recipe. Chicken thigh fillets are used here but you can substitute chicken breast meat if that's your preference.

Notes

We buy yakisoba noodles in packs of five with each pack weighing about 100 grams. Three packs are enough to feed all four of us in the family. If you feel that 300 grams won’t be enough, you can always add more. But you will need to adjust the seasonings accordingly.
