Ingredients
  

400g (14 oz) boneless chicken thighs, thinly sliced

200g (7 oz) egg noodles or rice noodles

3 tablespoons white miso paste

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon pure sesame oil

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

inch piece fresh ginger, grated

2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

1 bell pepper, sliced (choose red or yellow for a vibrant look)

2 green onions, finely chopped

1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken thighs with the white miso paste, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir thoroughly to ensure the chicken is well-coated. Allow the mixture to sit and marinate for at least 30 minutes, so the flavors can develop.

    Cook the Noodles: In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Add the egg noodles or rice noodles, and cook them according to the package instructions until they reach an al dente texture. Once cooked, drain the noodles well and set them aside.

      Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing them for about 1 minute until they become fragrant and flavorful.

        Cook the Chicken: Carefully add the marinated chicken thighs to the skillet. Cook the chicken for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is nicely browned and cooked through.

          Add Vegetables: Pour in the chicken broth, then add the snap peas and sliced bell pepper into the skillet. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer for about 3-4 minutes, just until the vegetables soften slightly while retaining their crunch.

            Combine with Noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing everything together to ensure that the noodles are thoroughly coated in the delicious miso sauce. Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat everything through properly.

              Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish your Miso Chicken Noodles with chopped green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro leaves if desired. Serve piping hot and relish the rich, savory flavors!
