Description
A quick and delicious Sticky Garlic Chicken Noodles recipe featuring a sweet and savory sauce that clings to tender chicken and noodles.
Ingredients
- 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, mix soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes (if using) thoroughly to form a flavorful sauce.
- Toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with cornstarch until each piece is evenly coated.
- Warm the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the coated chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
- 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.
- Cook the noodles according to the package instructions until tender. Drain and set aside.
- Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the chicken and toss well to distribute the sauce evenly.
- Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving hot.
Notes
For best results, keep the pan hot for browning and reduce heat slightly when adding the sauce. Save noodle water to adjust consistency if too thick.
