Instructions
- Season the chicken
In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken thighs, cornstarch, chili powder, salt, black pepper, cumin, coriander, and red pepper flakes if using. Toss well so the chicken is evenly coated. - Cook the chicken
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil and butter. Add the coated chicken and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. - Cook the vegetables
Add a drizzle of olive oil to the same pan. Add the bell pepper, broccoli, and carrots. Season lightly with salt and black pepper, then sauté for 6 to 7 minutes until softened. Remove from the pan and set aside. - Make the sauce
In the same pan over medium heat, add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, chipotle adobo paste, minced garlic, and butter. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. - Add everything back in
Add the cooked chicken, vegetables, and udon noodles to the pan. Toss everything together until the noodles are well coated in the sauce and everything is heated through. - Serve
Serve warm and enjoy right away.

Bolognese pasta is one of my favorite comfort dishes — rich, hearty, and full of flavor. Slow-simmered with beef, vegetables, stock, and parmesan rind, this sauce gets better the longer it cooks and is perfect tossed with fettuccine.
