Ingredients
  

Protein
  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces Use either chicken breast or thighs.
Sauce
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp red chili flakes Optional for spice
Rice/Grains
  • 8 oz noodles (rice noodles or egg noodles) Choose preferred type of noodles.
Spices
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch For coating chicken.
Veggies
  • 2 green onions chopped For garnish.
Oil
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil For frying.
Toppings
  • 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 for a sticky, crispy texture.
Cooking
  1. Warm the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot.
  2. Add the coated chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked through.
  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 package instructions until tender. Drain and set them aside.
  5. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the sticky chicken and toss well to evenly distribute the sauce and chicken throughout.
Serving
  1. Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds (if using) over the top before serving hot.

Notes

Ensure the oil is hot enough to keep the chicken from sticking. Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
