Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless chicken thighs, cut into thin strips
- 1 cup chopped bok choy leaves
- 2 packs Trader Joe’s Squiggly Knife Cut Noodles
- ½ cup Trader Joe’s Soyaki Sauce
- 2 tsp chili crisp oil
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Green onions, for garnish
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
1. Cook the Chicken
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then add to the pan. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
2. Add the Bok Choy
Add the chopped bok choy to the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes, until wilted and tender.
3. Cook the Noodles
Prepare the squiggly noodles according to package instructions (discard the seasoning packets). Drain and set aside.
4. Combine Everything
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet along with the soyaki sauce and chili crisp oil.
Reduce heat to low and toss everything together until evenly coated. Let it cook for a few minutes until the sauce slightly reduces and clings to the noodles.
5. Garnish & Serve
Remove from heat and top with:
- Sliced green onions
- Sesame seeds
Serve immediately.
Tips for the Best Stir Fry Noodles
- Don’t overcrowd the pan — it helps the chicken brown instead of steam
- Use chicken thighs for juicier, more flavorful results
- Add extra chili crisp if you want more heat
- Let the sauce reduce slightly for better flavor and texture
Variations & Add-Ins
- Add bell peppers, mushrooms, or snap peas for more veggies
- Swap chicken for shrimp, steak, or tofu
- Add a fried egg on top for extra protein
- Toss in crushed peanuts for added crunch
Why This Recipe Works
The soyaki sauce brings sweetness and depth, while chili crisp adds heat and richness. Cooking everything in one pan allows the flavors to build and coat the noodles evenly.
It’s simple, balanced, and exactly what you want from a quick stir fry.
Storage & Meal Prep
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days
- Reheat in a skillet or microwave
- Add a splash of water or soy sauce when reheating to loosen noodles
These Easy Stir Fry Noodles are fast, flavorful, and endlessly customizable — a perfect go-to when you want something better than takeout without the effort.
