Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced (about 450 g)
  • 8–10 oz noodles (egg noodles, chow mein, or rice noodles)
  • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced or grated
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2–3 green onions, chopped for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • to taste salt and black pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and toss with a little oil so they don’t stick.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.
  3. Add minced garlic and ginger. Sauté briefly until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, watching carefully so they don’t burn.
  4. Add diced chicken. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce and honey. Pour the sauce into the pan and let it bubble for about a minute to concentrate the flavors.
  6. Add the cooked noodles to the pan. Toss thoroughly so every strand and piece of chicken is coated. Cook another 2 to 3 minutes until everything is heated through and the sauce reduces slightly into a sticky glaze.
  7. Transfer to plates and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot.

Notes

For a crunchy texture, consider using firm egg noodles. For a gluten-free option, substitute with rice noodles or tamari for soy sauce. Serve with a cucumber salad or steamed greens to balance the sweetness.
