Ingredients
  

Chicken and Sauce Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced Toasting enhances flavor.
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp red chili flakes (optional) Adjust based on spice preference.
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch Coat chicken for stickiness.
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil For frying.
Noodle Ingredients
  • 8 oz noodles (rice noodles or egg noodles) Cook according to package instructions.
  • 2 green onions chopped For garnish.
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional) For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes (if using) thoroughly to form a flavorful sauce.
  2. Toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with cornstarch until each piece is evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Warm vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot enough for frying the chicken.
  2. Add the coated chicken to the skillet, cooking for about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked.
  3. Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken and stir well to coat all pieces. Let the sauce simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until it thickens and becomes sticky.
  4. Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the package instructions until tender. Drain and set aside.
  5. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the sticky chicken and toss well to evenly distribute the sauce and chicken throughout.
  6. Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds (if using) over the top for a fresh finish before serving hot.
