This Chicken Yaki Udon is a Japanese inspired stir fry tossed with grilled chicken, carrots, mushrooms, and cabbage. You guys, this is my favorite stir fry of all time. It is BEYOND delicious. I have mastered re-creating a healthier version of this classic Japanese dish with my homemade sauce and by sticking to organic ingredients. What kills most Japanese recipes is all of the added sugar in the sauce. I have notated the exact brands I use below to keep this dish macro friendly & extra delicious!

Ingredients
Chicken:
- 24 oz cooked grilled chicken seasoned with salt & pepper – I used precooked grilled chicken from my Trifecta meal prep plan to speed up the process. You can just grill some up before hand too of course, but if you need help in the kitchen definitely check Trifecta out!
- 1/2 small yellow onion
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp grass fed butter
- 1 1/4 cup shredded carrots
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 8 oz baby bella mushrooms
- 4 packs (360g) organic udon noodles, cooked – I use Hakubaku organic udon noodles.
- Red pepper flakes to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Sauce:
- 9 tbsp coconut aminos (little over 1/2 cup) – I use coconut secret
- 1/2 cup general tso’s sauce – I use the brand Kevins Natural Foods. I get it from Thrive Market! The ingredients are awesome
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp monk fruit or sweetener of choice
Instructions
- Melt the butter on a wok over medium high heat. Add the sliced onion and garlic. Sauté for two minutes, or until fragrant.
- Adding the carrots, cabbage, and mushrooms. Allow the veggies to cook down, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add in your grilled chicken and cooked udon noodles. Stir until fully incorporated and heated through. Pour in your sauce and lower the heat.
- Mix well & allow sauce to soak in for a few minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (I like a lot!).
- Serve & enjoy!
How To Store Leftovers
You can store your leftovers the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, just zap a serving in the microwave for a minute or so. Leftovers are just as good!
