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. This forms the sticky, flavorful sauce for the dish.
  2. Coat the chicken: Toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with cornstarch until each piece is evenly coated. This helps create a slightly crispy texture when cooked.
  3. Cook the chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken pieces and cook for about 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Add the sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir it well to coat all the chicken and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky.
  5. Cook the noodles: While the sauce simmers, prepare the noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain the noodles and, if desired, toss them lightly with a little oil to prevent sticking.
  6. Toss noodles with chicken and sauce: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the chicken and sticky sauce. Toss everything together gently to combine the flavors and heat the noodles through.
  7. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the dish before serving to add freshness and a nutty crunch.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute tamari for soy sauce and use gluten-free noodles.
  • Add vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas for extra nutrition and color.
  • Tofu, shrimp, or beef can replace chicken as an alternative protein.
  • Toss noodles with a small amount of oil after draining to prevent them from sticking together.
  • To achieve a thicker sauce, increase the amount of cornstarch or simmer the sauce longer.
