Curried Chicken Teriyaki Noodles

Curried Chicken Teriyaki with egg Noodles

I have this craving for "Anything Teriyaki" since I first tasted this dish at Chinese buffet. They had many varieties of chicken dishes like, ginger chicken, sesame chicken, orange chicken, barbeque chicken, honey chicken but I liked teriyaki chicken the most for its unique asian flavors. My version of teriyaki chicken is with egg noodles and few veggies and some dash of Indian flavors as I like my chicken to be little spicy.

You will find most of my recipes little spicy and hot as I love hot food. One can substitute the chicken with prawns/shrimps, tofu/soya chunks/mealmaker (for vegans). This is very quick and easy recipe for a lazy dinner; if you are really tired to cut those veggies, you can simply opt them out or use frozen vegetables, any which way works out great!
