Storage and Meal Prep Tips

Store in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.

Can eat cold OR can heat up in microwave for 1 minute to loosen up the noodles and chicken (does not affect veggies) OR alternatively keep the chicken separate, reheat then add it (along with the sauce) to the noodle bowl and veggies on the day of consumption.

Meal Prep Glass Bowls I use.

I like to store the dressing/sauce in separate containers so the noodles and veggies do not go soggy.

FAQ

Can I use other noodles instead of vermicelli?
Absolutely! If you can’t find vermicelli noodles, you can substitute with rice noodles, zucchini noodles (for a low-carb option), or egg noodles.

Can I make this dish vegetarian?
Yes! Swap the chicken for tofu or tempeh, and follow the recipe as usual. The Miso sauce will still give you that delicious, savory flavor.

Can You Serve the Teriyaki Chicken Noodle Bowls Cold?

Yes! This dish is served cold, which makes it perfect for meal prepping or enjoying a light, refreshing dinner on warmer days. If you prefer a warm meal, simply heat the bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute to loosen up the noodles without affecting the veggies.
