Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 8 ounces egg noodles or your choice of noodles
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
  2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn them.
  3. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then add them to the pot. Sear for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar, stirring to coat the chicken evenly.
  5. Add the chicken broth, ensuring the chicken is submerged. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes.
  6. Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool for a few minutes. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
  7. Return the shredded chicken to the pot, stirring it back into the sauce. Add sesame oil and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  8. While the chicken simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
  9. Drain the noodles in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  10. Place a generous portion of cooked noodles in a bowl. Ladle the shredded chicken and sauce over the top.
  11. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
  12. Enjoy your Shredded Braised Chicken Noodles hot!

Notes

  • For added vegetables, consider including sliced bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  • For a spicier version, add a teaspoon of chili paste or red pepper flakes with the sauces.
  • To thicken the sauce, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with water to create a slurry and stir it in during the last few minutes of cooking.
