Description
A flavorful and quick dish that combines tender chicken, vibrant noodles, and a rich, garlicky sauce, perfect for busy weeknights or casual dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- 8 oz noodles (rice noodles or egg noodles)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by mixing the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili flakes in a bowl. This is your sauce.
- Toss the chicken pieces in cornstarch until they’re evenly coated.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken and cook for about 6–8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken. Stir well to ensure every piece is coated in that sticky goodness. Allow it to simmer and thicken for about 1–2 minutes.
- Cook the noodles based on package instructions. Drain and add a splash of oil to prevent sticking, if desired.
- Toss the cooked noodles into the skillet with the chicken and sauce. Mix thoroughly so that everything is combined.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken for a nice sear.
