Bring It All Together
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add marinated chicken pieces, half of the prepared sauce and cook until the chicken is seared and fully cooked through. Toss in the snap peas and thinly sliced red bell pepper. Sauté until slightly tender but still retaining a crunch.
Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet and let it bubble. Gently stir to coat the chicken and veggies in that luscious sauce. Toss in the cooked soba noodles and mix until everything is well combined and the noodles are warmed through. Serve and sprinkle some sesame seeds over the top for that extra crunch!

Notes
When cooking the chicken, ensure your skillet is hot enough. A proper sear locks in the juices, ensuring tender, flavorful chicken.
After cooking soba noodles, rinse them in cold water. This stops the cooking process and helps remove excess starch, ensuring non-sticky, separate strands.
If you find the sauce too thick or thin for your liking, adjust by adding more water or letting it simmer longer.
Don't have soba noodles on hand? You can also use rice noodles, udon, or even spaghetti as an alternative.
Feel free to swap snap peas with other crunchy veggies like broccoli or green beans. Bell peppers can be replaced with colored capsicum or even sliced carrots for a sweet touch.
Store any leftover Honey Sriracha Miso Chicken Noodles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
