Sticky Garlic Chicken Noodles (Printable Version)

Golden chicken pieces in a sticky garlic-honey sauce tossed with noodles - a quick, comforting dish that's perfect for weeknight dinners.

# Ingredients:

→ Chicken & Sauce

01 - 450g chicken breast or chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
02 - 60ml soy sauce
03 - 3 tablespoons honey
04 - 4 garlic cloves, finely minced
05 - 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
06 - ½ teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
07 - 2 tablespoons cornstarch
08 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

→ Noodles & Garnish

09 - 225g rice noodles or egg noodles
10 - 2 green onions, thinly sliced
11 - 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)

# Steps:

01 - In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes (if using). Set aside.
02 - Place the chicken pieces in a bowl and toss them with the cornstarch until evenly coated. This step helps the chicken brown nicely and gives the sauce something to cling to.
03 - Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked through.
04 - Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet with the chicken. Stir well and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and turns glossy and sticky.
05 - While the sauce simmers, cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain well.
06 - Add the cooked noodles directly to the skillet. Toss everything together until the noodles are fully coated in the sticky garlic sauce.

# Notes:

01 - Finish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for a fresh bite and light crunch.
02 - Serve as is for a hearty main dish, or pair with simple stir-fried vegetables or a crisp cucumber salad to balance the richness.
03 - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
04 - Freeze in portioned containers for up to 2 months. Noodles may soften slightly after thawing.
05 - Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave with a splash of water or soy sauce to loosen the glaze.
