Description
A quick and easy dish that combines savory flavors and comforting noodles, perfect for any night of the week.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 tbsp honey
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1/2 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
- 8 oz noodles (rice noodles or egg noodles)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Sauce: In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes (if using) until well combined. This will be your tasty sauce.
- Prepare the Chicken: Coat the chicken pieces with cornstarch by tossing them in a bowl. This step ensures that your chicken will turn crispy and sticky when cooked.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken to the skillet. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is golden and fully cooked.
- Add the Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken and stir to coat all the pieces. Let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce is thick and sticky.
- Cook the Noodles: While the chicken cooks, prepare the noodles according to the package instructions until they are tender. Drain them and set aside.
- Combine Everything: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the chicken. Toss well to ensure the sauce and chicken are evenly distributed.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds (if using) before serving hot for an added burst of flavor.
