Description
A quick and easy noodle stir-fry packed with flavor—sticky garlic chicken tossed in a sweet and savory honey-soy sauce with noodles, green onions, and sesame seeds.
Ingredients
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)
Instructions
Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and chili flakes (if using). Mix well.
Coat the Chicken: Toss chicken pieces in cornstarch until evenly coated.
Heat Oil: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Cook Chicken: Add chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through.
Add Sauce: Pour in the sauce, stirring to coat the chicken. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until thick and sticky.
Cook Noodles: Meanwhile, prepare noodles per package directions. Drain and set aside.
Combine: Add noodles to the skillet and toss with the chicken until well combined.
Garnish: Top with green onions and sesame seeds before serving hot.
Notes
Use chicken thighs for extra juiciness; breasts for a leaner option.
Adjust chili flakes for more or less heat.
Swap vegetable oil with sesame oil for richer flavor.
Rice noodles work well for gluten-free needs.
Garnish with cilantro or crushed peanuts for extra texture.
