– 8 oz udon noodles
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons sesame oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

– 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 1/4 cup chicken broth
– 2 green onions, sliced

– Salt and pepper, to taste

5. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet, along with the green onions. Toss everything together until the chicken is coated in the sauce.
6. Add the cooked udon noodles to the skillet and toss to combine, ensuring the noodles are well coated with the sauce.
