🥗Healthier: whole grain noodles

💰Cheaper: rice noodles

Whole grain noodles offer more fiber; rice noodles can be less expensive.

Cut the boneless skinless chicken breast into thin strips, aiming for bite-sized pieces.

In a bowl, combine the chicken strips with soy sauce, cornstarch, white pepper, and water to create a marinade.

Cover the bowl with saran wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to tenderize the chicken.

Boil water and turn off the heat, then add two packs of yaki soba noodles to the hot water.

Let the noodles sit in the hot water for about 2-3 minutes to soften, stirring occasionally to separate them.

After 3 minutes, drain the noodles and let them dry in the sink without rinsing with cold water.

Heat a wok over medium-high heat and add the marinated chicken, spreading it out to avoid sticking.

Cook the chicken for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally until it is about 80% cooked through.

Remove the chicken from the wok and set it aside, turning off the heat temporarily.

Clean the wok by wiping out any residue with a paper towel.
