Chicken and Sauce
- 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 tbsp honey
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1/2 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Noodles and Garnish
- 8 oz noodles (rice noodles or egg noodles)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
- Make the Sauce: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes until well combined to create the flavorful sticky garlic sauce.
- Coat the Chicken: Toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with cornstarch, making sure each piece is evenly coated to achieve a crispy texture when cooked.

- Prepare the Noodles: Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Once done, drain them thoroughly and set aside.
- Combine Noodles and Chicken: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the sticky garlic chicken. Toss everything together to ensure the noodles are fully coated with the sauce and mixed with the chicken.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the top for added freshness and crunch. Serve the dish hot for a delicious, satisfying meal.
