Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

For the Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp red chili flakes (optional)

For the Noodles:

  • 8 oz noodles (rice noodles or egg noodles)
  • 2 pcs green onions, chopped
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes (if using) until fully combined to create the sticky sauce base.
  2. Coat the chicken: Toss bite-sized chicken pieces with cornstarch until evenly coated, which will help create a crispy and sticky exterior when cooked.
  3. Heat the oil: Warm vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, preparing for frying the chicken.
  4. Cook the chicken: Add the coated chicken pieces to the hot skillet and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become golden brown and are cooked through.
  5. Simmer with sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken, stir well to combine, and let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the chicken.
  6. Cook the noodles: While the sauce simmers, cook noodles according to package instructions; once done, drain and set aside.
  7. Toss noodles and chicken: Add the cooked noodles into the skillet with the sticky garlic chicken and toss thoroughly to evenly coat the noodles with the sauce.
  8. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the top before serving to add freshness and a nutty note.

Notes

  • You can prepare the sauce and marinate the chicken earlier in the day to enhance the flavors.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content and make the dish healthier.
  • Adjust red chili flakes to control the spiciness according to your preference.
