Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, 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 stalks green onions, chopped
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes (if using) thoroughly to form a flavorful sauce.
  2. Toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with cornstarch until each piece is evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Warm 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until it’s hot enough for frying.
  2. Add the coated chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked.
  3. Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken and stir well to coat all pieces. Allow it to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until thick and sticky.
Finishing Touches
  1. Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to package instructions until tender, then drain and set aside.
  2. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the sticky chicken, and toss well to evenly distribute the sauce.
  3. Sprinkle the chopped green onions and sesame seeds (if using) over the top before serving hot.

Notes

Don’t skip toasting the garlic—it makes all the difference in the flavor. Serve with a side of stir-fried veggies or a simple cucumber salad for a refreshing contrast. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for about 3–4 days.
