Hoisin Chicken Udon Noodles
Hoisin Chicken Udon Noodles – a delicious plate of sweet yet a bit spicy plate of steaming hot noodles with chicken and mushrooms, in under 30 minutes.
If you follow me on Instagram you’ve probably seen the picture I took in front of my house with all the lovely snow. Summer isn’t even over and yet here it’s snowing. It really feels like Christmas, almost makes me get my Christmas tree from the garage and put it up. Almost!
That’s sarcasm, my web friends, because it’s just not right. It’s still summer. I guess the weather fooled us. However, it is pretty when you look out the window.
Anyway, on to today’s yummy recipe. I’m simply in love with these Udon noodles. They’re sweet and they’re spicy and they’re loaded with chicken and mushrooms. Now I know some of you peeps out there don’t love mushrooms, so replace them with broccoli and they’ll be just as yummy. In case you’ve never bought Hoisin sauce before, you can find hoisin sauce in the Asian aisle in your grocery store.
Ever since I’ve discovered these Udon Noodles, I’ve been obsessed with them. Everytime I go to the grocery store and pass by them, I have to pick some up, and love coming up with different ideas to serve them. Well to serve them to myself, since hubs isn’t a fan of noodles, but more for me. The leftovers make a yummy lunch the next day, so it’s all good.
This recipe is so simple and I just love this dish. In 20 or 25 minutes you can have lunch or dinner on the table, and you’ll be enjoying a delicious plate of sweet yet a bit spicy steaming hot noodles. You can’t go wrong!

We love this recipe, I add fresh coriander and substitute the low sodium soya sauce with China lily spicy soya sauce once I a while to give it a little extra heat. Original or modify recipe is always a success in this household.
NancyP says
I love cooking udon noodles and this recipe is so great! The depth of flavor combined with the ease of pulling it all together makes this a wonderful week night dinner. It reheats well too, if you can manage to not eat it all in one sitting!
Tammy says
Loved the taste but had to hack the recipe to work with the ingredients I had on hand. I think I overdid the sauce a bit, relative to the other ingredients – I was guesstimating. Next time I’ll add more veggies and meat for the sauce. But yummy despite it all!
James says
Is it two packages of 8oz udon noodles?
Fenne Kieken says
you got it
Jenna @ A Savory Feast says
Mmm, I love udon noodles! I’m pinning this recipe to try for dinner soon. I bet it would go great with some homemade egg rolls.
Joanna Cismaru says
You bet!
Vicki says
Made this to the recipe except used the green onions as topping and added one-half sliced onion and half bag of broccoli slaw to the stir fry part. Was wonderful with plenty of sauce. This upped the veggies and volume for 4 persons.
Dani says
Just made it.. Currently eating it.. Soo yummy!
jo says
Glad you like it Dani!
Leen says
Nice recipe! It was easy to cook and it was so delicious. I will cook it again later! Thanks.
Ginger says
I made this recipe before, and it was really good! I was thinking of making it without the chicken tonight, as a side dish for my “Asian-inspired” meatloaf. Should I alter the amount of oil and other ingredients since I plan on making it without chicken?
jo says
You could cut out the olive oil if you choose, I’d leave the rest of the ingredients the same.
Ginger says
Thank you, Jo! I will just use the sesame oil then! I’ll let you know how it turns out!
curtis says
Amazing recipe, have been playing with it since I had made its discovery and adding lime, salted cashews and a bit of cilantro to garnish really kicks it up. Awesome recipe!
jo says
Glad you like it Curtis!
Goodall says
I thought of cilantro and spaced it, and said while eating, This Needs Cashews! I am trying your method next!
FWIW — didn’t have mushrooms so used cauliflower, cubed zucchini, and watercress. This was SUCH a great dish and we are SATED!
Thank you for posting.
