Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 300g chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)

Coating and Cooking

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Noodles and Garnishes

  • 200g noodles (rice noodles or egg noodles)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, combine 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes to create a balanced, sticky sauce rich in flavor.
  2. Coat the Chicken: Toss the bite-sized chicken pieces in 2 tablespoons of cornstarch until they are evenly coated, which helps to give the chicken a crisp texture after cooking.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken pieces and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, stirring occasionally for even cooking.
  4. Add the Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken and stir well to coat each piece. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky, adhering nicely to the chicken.
  5. Cook the Noodles: Meanwhile, cook 200g of noodles according to package instructions until tender. Drain the noodles thoroughly to prevent sogginess.
  6. Combine Noodles and Chicken: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the sticky garlic chicken. Toss everything together gently but thoroughly to ensure the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce and mixed well with the chicken.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the top for a fresh, nutty finish, then serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken breast with thighs for a juicier texture.
  • Adjust the amount of red chili flakes to your spice preference or omit for a milder dish.
  • For gluten-free option, use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce and rice noodles.
  • To add vegetables, consider stir-frying bell peppers, snap peas, or shredded carrots along with the chicken.
  • The cornstarch coating helps achieve a crispy texture but can be replaced with arrowroot powder if preferred.
