**Instructions:**
**1. Prepare the Noodles:**
– Boil a large pot of water. Add the egg noodles or rice noodles and cook according to package instructions (4-6 minutes for egg noodles, 6-8 minutes for rice noodles).
– Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Once al dente, drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
**2. Marinate the Chicken:**
– In a medium bowl, mix chicken pieces with 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Ensure the chicken is well coated.
– Let marinate for at least 15 minutes (up to 1 hour for more flavor).
**3. Cook the Chicken:**
– Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary).
– Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Remove chicken and set aside.
**4. Stir-Fry the Vegetables:**
– In the same skillet, add more oil if needed. Sauté minced garlic and grated ginger for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
– Add broccoli, red bell pepper, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
– Return chicken to the skillet, pour in remaining teriyaki sauce and sesame oil. Stir to coat and heat through for 2-3 minutes.
**5. Combine Noodles and Sauce:**
– Add cooked noodles to the skillet. Toss gently with chicken and vegetables, ensuring even coating with sauce. Add a splash of water or more teriyaki sauce if needed.
– Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes to heat through and allow noodles to absorb flavors.
**6. Final Touches and Serving:**
– Taste and adjust seasoning with more soy sauce, salt, or pepper if desired.
– Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
– Serve hot in bowls or on plates, adding extra sesame seeds or green onions for presentation.
