Description
A delicious dish featuring tender chicken pieces coated in a sweet and savory garlic sauce, served over noodles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- 8 oz noodles (rice noodles or egg noodles)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and optional red chili flakes. Mix well to create a balanced sweet and savory sauce with a hint of heat.
- Toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with cornstarch until evenly coated. This will help give the chicken a light crust and help thicken the sauce later.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir to coat the chicken evenly, then let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky.
- While the sauce simmers, cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain them and set aside.
- Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the sticky garlic chicken. Toss everything together gently to combine the noodles and chicken with the flavorful sauce evenly.
- Sprinkle the dish with chopped green onions and optional sesame seeds for a fresh, nutty finish. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- This dish can be adjusted with varying levels of spice by modifying or omitting the red chili flakes.
