Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces Thighs are juicier; breasts are leaner.
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce Regular or low-sodium soy sauce can be used.
  • 3 tbsp honey Mild-flavored honey or agave syrup can substitute.
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic is best for flavor.
  • 1 tsp grated ginger Freshly grated for the best flavor.
  • 1/2 tsp red chili flakes, optional Add for a spicy kick.
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch For chicken coating and thickening sauce.
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil For sautéing chicken.
  • 8 oz noodles (rice or egg) Cook according to package instructions.
  • 2 green onions, chopped Optional garnish Adds freshness and color.
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds, optional For garnish, adds crunch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes (if using). Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
  2. Toss chicken pieces with cornstarch in a separate bowl until evenly coated.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmery.
Cooking
  1. Add coated chicken in a single layer to the skillet and cook, turning occasionally until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  2. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken, stirring to coat, and simmer for about 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  3. Cook the noodles according to the package directions, drain, and mix quickly with a teaspoon of oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Combine the drained noodles with the chicken and sauce in the skillet, tossing thoroughly to ensure even coating.
Serving
  1. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if you like. Serve immediately.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Reheat gently to prevent noodles from becoming soggy.
