Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 8 oz noodles (rice noodles or egg noodles)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and optional chili flakes. Stir well until the honey is dissolved, which takes about 2 minutes.
- Evenly coat the chicken pieces with cornstarch, ensuring they are well covered. This should take about 2 minutes and will help the chicken become crispy when cooked.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Wait about 2 minutes until the oil is hot and begins to smoke slightly.
- Add the chicken pieces to the pan and fry for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Stir regularly to prevent burning.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and stir to coat evenly. Let the mixture simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and the chicken is glossy.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the noodles according to the package instructions, usually taking 4-6 minutes. Make sure to cook them al dente to avoid mushiness.
- Once the noodles are ready, drain them and add them to the pan with the chicken and sauce. Mix well to ensure the noodles absorb the delicious sauce, which takes about 2 minutes.
- Serve the Sticky Garlic Chicken Noodles hot, garnished with chopped green onions and optional sesame seeds. Enjoy!
