Hoisin Chicken with Noodles – tender strips of chicken breast and vegetables with egg noodles all coated in a delicious Hoisin Sauce

Hoisin Noodles

Hoisin sauce is one of my favourite sauces when it comes to Chinese food, I love the flavours it adds to any dish and it really can take the simpliest of ingredients to a whole other level.

From just vegetables and rice, to noodles, beef, fish, duck or as is featured here, strips of chicken breast, vegetables and yummy egg noodles.

The best variety of Hoisin Sauce

When it comes to Hoisin Sauce there are a whole heap of varieties out there, different brands, some even with a spicy kick, so it’s always best to choose one that’s tried and tested and you know you love.

I tend to always by my sauces including soy sauce from a Chinese Supermarket, they really do have the best ones with the best flavours, supermarket own brands just don’t always compare in my opinion. 

My favourite Hoisin Sauce is from Lee Kum Lee, in fact when it comes to any kind of Chinese sauce, including just soy sauce, it is the brand I go for most often, second favourite is Pearl River Bridge, but I am not sure if they do a Hoisin Sauce.

Dark Soy Sauce

There are many different types of soy sauce out there, Japanese ones like Kikkoman, Tamari (which is a often made with very little or no wheat although not always gluten free), then you have the typical Chinese Soy Sauce and on top of that you have dark and light soy sauces. 

Despite the name light or dark soy sauce, light is usually saltier than dark soy sauce, dark has a much richer flavour and deeper colour. 

In this recipe I use both standard soy sauce (it says neither light or dark on the bottle) and then Dark Soy sauce, it must say Dark on the bottle or you will not get that rich deep colour and flavour you see on the noodles. 

When it comes to which Dark Soy Sauce to use, I always buy mine from the Chinese supermarket and again Pearl River Bridge is the brand I choose most often. 

Chicken Replacements

I use chicken breast in this recipe, but chicken thigh is fine too and if you don’t fancy chicken, why not try it with some strips of pork, beef or even prawns (shrimps).

You can even make this completely meat free by just upping the vegetables to replace the amount of chicken used.

Best Vegetables for Hoisin Chicken and Noodles

For the vegetables in this recipe, I usually go for zucchini (courgette), carrot, red pepper and then some shredded cabbage. Apart from the shredded cabbage I slice the vegetables into thin little sticks using my santoku knife (best knife ever btw). 

Don’t have those vegetables on hand? You really can swap out for any vegetables you like, just make sure you keep the quantities about the same, otherwise you won’t have enough sauce to cover everything.

Some other great vegetables are:

  • Mushrooms
  • Different coloured bell peppers
  • Bean Sprouts
  • Baby Corn
  • Mange Tout or Sugar Snap Peas
  • Small Broccoli Florets

    Hi, this looks delicious but I’m curious about how the SW syns have been calculated to 4? The Sesame Oil is 2.5 syns total and from what I remember everything else is free? Does this depend on the type of Hoisin Sauce you use? Thanks!

    the syns come from the oil and the Hoisin sauce, remember Hoisin sauce is not syn free, syns will vary from different brands, so ensure you syn according to the one you use.
