Tips for making tasty Hoisin Chicken Noodles
- First season your chicken with the marinade ingredients and then prep your other ingredients. This will give the time a little bit more time for the chicken to absorb the surrounding flavours.
- Cut the carrots and greens into long pieces. If you’re short on time, skip cutting the carrots into matchsticks but slice them vertically so that they incorporate better with the noodles.
- Quickly blanch the noodles for only 20-30 seconds and no longer. Any longer and it’ll result in soggy noodles.
- Pre-mix your noodle sauce ahead of time. This will prevent your noodles from overcooking in the hot pan.
- Brown your chicken a bit for a delicious, caramelized flavour.

Heidi | The Frugal Girls
I really appreciated all of your tips for changing up the protein or noodles, but I especially loved your idea to reheat these chicken noodles for lunch. YUM!!
Lana
What brand Miki noodles do you use?
christieathome
I don't have a preference in mind, any version at the Asian grocer will do well for this recipe.
Heather
Where do you use the wine in this recipe? I see it in the ingredients but not in the instructions. Thanks.
christieathome
Thanks for bringing that to my attention! The instructions in the recipe card have been updated to reflect that step. You would add the wine after you've cooked the chicken in Step 4.
Lis
Loved it. You really nailed the noodle sauce!
christieathome
Thanks so much Lis! So glad you enjoyed the noodles!
Helle
800 grams og noodles for 2 checken breats, isn’t that a lot? We don’t have those thick noodles here, i have to use regular noodles ☺️
This recipe looks so delicious !
christieathome
Thanks Helle! I found it to be a nice ratio but feel free to add more chicken breast if needed to balance out the noodles.
