Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken (breast or thighs), cut into bite-sized pieces
- ¼ cup soy sauce (regular or low sodium)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger (fresh is best)
- ½ teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch (to coat the chicken)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 8 oz noodles (egg noodles, rice noodles, or spaghetti)
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and chili flakes. Set aside.
- Toss chicken pieces in cornstarch until evenly coated.
- Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, about 6–8 minutes.
- Pour in the sauce. Stir and let bubble for 1–2 minutes until it thickens into a glossy glaze.
- Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and toss with a splash of oil.
- Add noodles to the skillet with the chicken. Toss until evenly coated.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot.
Notes
Vegetarian option: use tofu or extra veggies. Go noodle wild with udon, soba, or even linguine. Add peanut butter for a nutty twist. Double the sauce if desired. Reheat with a splash of water to loosen.
