    Chinese Noodle Recipe with Chicken, Bok Choy & Hoisin Sauce | cookincanuck.com #recipe #healthyrecipe #chickenrecipe

    Every six weeks or so, my boys and I venture to our local Asian market to stock up on pantry items such as rice vinegar, sesame oil, hoisin sauce, and spring rolls wrappers. If you've never compared prices at an Asian market to your regular grocery store, you're in for a surprise. In some instances, we pay half the price! And the garlic and ginger root? Well, they look like completely different specimens than the sad-looking variations you find in some produce sections.

    We can never resist piling our cart high with noodles of all types. Sweet potato noodles, rice noodles, soba noodles and fresh Chinese noodles are our favorites. The fresh Chinese noodles used in this recipe are tender and doughy, and cook in about 4 minutes.

    Chinese Noodle Recipe with Chicken, Bok Choy & Hoisin Sauce | cookincanuck.com #recipe #healthyrecipe #chickenrecipe

    This low-fat noodle recipe has a healthy dose of vitamins from the baby bok choy, and lean protein in the form of stir-fried chicken breasts. The sauce is based around hoisin sauce, with a few added ingredients to form a slightly sweet and savory silky sauce that coats the noodles and soaks into the wilted bok choy.

    And the baby corn? Well, those are for my kids...and the kid in me.

    The recipe:

    The sauce:

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, rice wine, sesame oil and chili garlic sauce. Set aside.

    The noodles:

    Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.

    Heat 2 teaspoon of canola oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and cook, stirring for 1 minute. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

    Add the chicken and cook until it is just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a bowl.

    Rinse the bok choy in a colander and drain, but don't dry off the excess water.

    Pour the remaining teaspoon of canola oil into the pan and add the bok choy and baby corn. Cook, stirring, until the bok choy is wilted, about 1 minute.

    Add the cooked chicken and noodles to the skillet and pour in the sauce.

        Dara,
        My son plays sled hockey about ah hour away, conveniently right down the road from a Costco and an Asian market, so throughout hockey season I "kill" time shopping.

        I can't wait for sled hockey season to start!

        My kids love all sorts of Asian noodle dishes, and I like how I can stuff a wide variety of veggies into the meal.

        Thanks!

        Asian markets are my go to ~ it's so much less expensive than supermarkets and there are so many interesting ingredients and wonderful fresh produce. Looking forward to trying your recipe as I usually use oyster sauce vs. hoisin sauce in stir-fry noodles (except for Ja Jiang Mien). Love all types of Asian noodles, so I know my family will enjoy this! Thanks!

        What market do you go to? I used to visit one on 7th East when I lived in the Avenues but haven't been into an Asian market in years- you reminded me how much less the prices are. I need to revisit! This looks delicious, Dara!

          Kelley, I go to the Ocean Mart, which is on 9000 S. in Sandy, just west of State Street. It's on the south side of the street, right beside the liquor store and two doors away from Club 90. Call me whenever you want to go and I'll meet you there!

        Asian markets are the best deal. I mean the best! Plus, they have a great selection of foods. I wish there was one closer to us in the mountains, but I have to drive to Denver so I rarely go.

        This looks amazing and is the perfect weeknight dinner. Quick, easy and healthy!

          Even though our market is only about 15 minutes away, I don't drive there very often. So when I do, I make sure to stock up for the next couple of months!

        Because hoisin is very high in sugar, I often water it down (literally, with water). These are the kinds of noodles I could eat every night.
