Drunken Udon Noodles with Chicken

This version of a popular take-out favorite was last featured in 2019. It uses dried Udon noodles, which are easier to find than fresh rice noodles, and calls for oyster sauce.
Smarts: If you're not familiar with oyster sauce, give it a try! It adds a unique and very authentic flavor. The leftover sauce can be used in a variety of Chinese stir-fry dishes and is great with wok-fried vegetables.
