# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes (if using). Stir well to create a cohesive sauce.
02 -
Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to a separate bowl. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the chicken and toss thoroughly until each piece is evenly coated.
03 -
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Carefully add the cornstarch-coated chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
04 -
Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir constantly to coat the chicken evenly. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce noticeably thickens.
05 -
While the chicken simmers, cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain them thoroughly and set aside.
06 -
Add the drained, cooked noodles directly into the skillet with the chicken and thickened sauce. Toss everything together vigorously until the noodles are fully coated and integrated with the chicken and sauce.
07 -
Transfer the Sticky Garlic Chicken Noodles to serving plates. Garnish generously with chopped spring onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds (if using) before serving immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
For an intensified spicy kick, consider adding more red chili flakes or a dash of sriracha to the sauce mixture.
02 -
Utilize chicken thighs instead of breasts for enhanced flavor and a juicier texture in the final dish.
03 -
To adapt this recipe for a vegan diet, substitute honey with an equal amount of maple syrup or agave nectar.
04 -
Incorporate additional vegetables such as broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, or snap peas for a more nutritious and comprehensive meal.
