Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Sauce

  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Noodles and Garnish

  • 8 oz noodles (rice noodles or egg noodles)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes (if using) until well combined. This sauce will give the chicken a sticky, flavorful coating.
  2. Coat the chicken: Toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with the cornstarch until each piece is evenly coated. This will help create a crispy texture when cooked and thicken the sauce.
  3. Cook the chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes.
  4. Add the sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly. Let it simmer for 1–2 minutes to thicken the sauce and allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Cook the noodles: Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the package directions. Once cooked, drain them and toss with a little oil if desired to prevent sticking.
  6. Combine noodles and chicken: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the chicken and sauce. Toss everything together until the noodles are fully coated and mixed with the sticky garlic chicken.
  7. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the dish before serving for added flavor and a nice presentation.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with tofu or vegetables such as bell peppers and broccoli.
  • Add a tablespoon of peanut butter to the sauce for a rich, nutty flavor.
  • Use udon, soba, or even spaghetti noodles as alternative noodle options.
  • Toss cooked noodles with a small amount of oil to prevent them from sticking together.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, simmer it longer or add an extra cornstarch slurry (mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 1 tbsp water) and cook until desired thickness.
