Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces Choose according to preference.
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch Helps the chicken crisp up.
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil For cooking the chicken.
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce Use tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • 3 tbsp honey Can substitute with brown sugar or maple syrup.
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp red chili flakes Optional for added heat.
  • 8 oz noodles (rice noodles or egg noodles) Use your preferred type.
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds Optional garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and toss with a little oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Pat the chicken dry and place in a bowl. Sprinkle cornstarch over the chicken and toss until evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook without moving for 2-3 minutes to brown.
  2. Flip the chicken pieces and cook until golden and cooked through, about 2-4 more minutes. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate.
  3. Lower the heat to medium. In the same pan, add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 20-30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Stir in soy sauce, honey, and optional red chili flakes. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer for about 1 minute.
  5. Return the chicken to the pan, tossing to coat in the sauce. Add the cooked noodles and fold everything together.
  6. Cook together for 1-2 minutes to allow the noodles to absorb the sauce.
Serving
  1. Remove from heat, top with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
