Udon with chicken - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute chicken with another protein in this udon recipe?

Yes! You can easily swap chicken for tofu, shrimp, beef, or even mushrooms for a vegetarian version. Adjust cooking times accordingly (e.g., tofu needs less time than chicken).

How long can I store leftover udon with chicken?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan with a splash of water to prevent drying out.

Is there a low-carb alternative to udon noodles?

Try swapping udon with zucchini noodles (zoodles) or shirataki noodles for a lower-carb option. Cook these separately and add at the end to avoid sogginess.

How can I make this dish spicier?

For extra heat, add red pepper flakes or sriracha while cooking, or garnish with extra fresh chili peppers. Adjust to your preferred spice level.

Can I freeze this udon dish for later?

Freezing isn't recommended as noodles can become mushy when thawed. For meal prep, store components separately (noodles + veggie/chicken mix) and combine when reheating.

What other vegetables work well in this recipe?

Bok choy, snap peas, broccoli, or baby corn are great additions or substitutes. Cut them uniformly for even cooking.

How do I prevent the udon noodles from sticking together?

After rinsing, toss noodles with a little sesame oil or olive oil. Cook them just until al dente (don't overcook), and stir-fry quickly with the other ingredients.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Yes! Use tamari instead of soy sauce and ensure your udon noodles are certified gluten-free (many are made with wheat). Check all sauce labels too.
