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, to create a flavorful sauce mixture.
  2. Coat the Chicken: Toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with cornstarch until each piece is evenly coated; this will help create a slight crust when cooking.
  3. Heat the Oil: Warm vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering and hot.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Add the coated chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through.
  5. Add the Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken, stirring to coat all the pieces. Let it simmer gently for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the chicken.
  6. Cook the Noodles: Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain them well and toss with a little oil to prevent sticking if desired.
  7. Combine Noodles and Chicken: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the chicken and sauce. Toss everything together until the noodles are thoroughly coated and heated through.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and a nice crunch before serving.

Notes

  • You can use either chicken breast or thighs depending on your preference for tenderness and flavor.
  • Red chili flakes are optional but add a nice spicy kick; adjust quantity based on your heat preference.
  • For gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce and gluten-free noodles.
  • To add vegetables, consider tossing in sliced bell peppers or snap peas along with the chicken.
  • Make sure not to overcook the noodles to keep them firm and prevent mushiness when tossed in the sauce.
