How To Make poultry essentials: chicken with asian noodles

• 
  Step 1
  PREP/PREPARE
• 
  Step 2
  Yakisoba, literally "fried buckwheat", is a Japanese noodle made from wheat flour, and are typically flavored with a condiment like oyster sauce. If you cannot find them, just pick up a pack or two of dried ramen noodles. FYI: Yakisoba and ramen noodles usually come with a packet of spices to add to the cooking noodles… Do not use it.

  Step 3
  It is important that you use chicken stock, not broth. If you use broth, the dish will taste too salty. If all you have is broth, then use a low-sodium version of tamari sauce.
