I am a fan of noodle and rice bowls lately. I love the various combinations that you can do. Today, I am sharing a great summer version of a noodle bowl. You are gonna love these grilled sesame chicken noodle bowls.
There are 3 components to these bwols. First is the grilled chicken. You use chicken tenders. They get a soak in a marinade before you grill them. You amke the marinade with Yoshida’s marinade with the addition of soy sauce, garlic, and sesame oil.
The second component is grilled veggies. If you don’t want to grill them you can always roast them in the oven. I just use a grill basket to cook them on the grill while you cook the chicken. I love the combination. It includes peppers, red onion, and mushrooms.
The last element to these grilled sesame chicken noodle bowls is the noodles. They arene’t just palin. Toss the noodles in a sauce before placing the veggies and chicken on top. You amke this sauce with soy sauce, brown sugar, sugar, sesame oil, peanut butter, and olive oil. You can also add in a little sriracha if you want a little heat. Feel free to sprinkle green onion and sesame seeds over the bowls as a finishing garnish if desired.
