Preparation of ingredients ready for cooking.

Directions

1. In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes to create a flavorful sauce.

2. Toss the chicken pieces in cornstarch until they are evenly coated. This will help give the chicken a nice crispy texture.

3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot.

4. Add the coated chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

5. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and stir to coat evenly. Allow it to simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

6. While the chicken is cooking, cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and if desired, toss with a little oil to prevent sticking.

7. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and gently toss to combine with the chicken and sauce until everything is thoroughly mixed.

8. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy your Sticky Garlic Chicken Noodles!

Tips & Variations

• Ingredient Substitutions: You can use turkey or tofu in place of chicken for a different protein. If you’re watching sodium intake, consider using low-sodium soy sauce.

• Optional Variations: Add vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for extra color and crunch. For a spicy kick, increase the amount of red chili flakes.

• Storage or Reheating Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, adding a splash of water or soy sauce to keep the noodles moist.
