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, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes (if using). Stir well to mix all ingredients thoroughly to create a flavorful sauce.
  2. Coat the chicken: Toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with the cornstarch until each piece is evenly coated. This will help create a nice crispy texture when cooked and thicken the sauce later.
  3. Cook the chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  4. Add the sauce and simmer: Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken. Stir well to coat all the pieces and allow the sauce to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until it thickens and becomes sticky, enveloping the chicken.
  5. Cook the noodles: While the sauce simmers, cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain them thoroughly and set aside.
  6. Combine noodles with chicken and sauce: Add the drained noodles to the skillet with the sticky chicken and toss everything together gently to ensure the noodles are evenly coated with the delicious sauce.
  7. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the top as garnish. Serve hot for a tasty and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • You can use either chicken breast or thighs depending on your preference for leaner or juicier meat.
  • Adjust the chili flakes to your desired level of heat or omit for a milder dish.
  • Using cornstarch helps in achieving the sticky glaze texture on the chicken.
  • Rice noodles or egg noodles work well; use your favorite or what you have on hand.
  • For gluten-free option, be sure to use gluten-free soy sauce and noodles.
