Method
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the somen noodles for 3 minutes. Drain immediately and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
- While waiting for the water to boil, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken strips to the hot oil and cook for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no pink remains.
- Meanwhile, partially cook the broccoli according to package directions, leaving it slightly underdone.
- Add the partially cooked broccoli, sliced carrots, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, chicken broth, and chopped garlic to the skillet with the cooked chicken.
- Let the mixture simmer over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Add the pre-cooked somen noodles to the skillet and toss everything together until the noodles are well coated with sauce.
- Allow everything to sit together for about a minute before serving to let the noodles absorb more of the sauce.

Notes
For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken with firm tofu or simply add more vegetables. Snow peas, bell peppers, or mushrooms work wonderfully in this dish. For added flavor, sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, add a splash of water or broth to loosen the sauce as the noodles tend to absorb liquid when stored.
