Description
Sticky Garlic Chicken Noodles are a savory, sweet, and slightly spicy dish that’s quick to prepare and perfect for family dinners or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast or thighs (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 3 tablespoons honey (raw or mild-flavored)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger (fresh preferred)
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 8 oz noodles (rice noodles or egg noodles)
- 2 green onions (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles according to package instructions until al dente, about 6-8 minutes. Drain and toss them with a little oil to prevent sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the chicken pieces with cornstarch until they are evenly coated.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the soy sauce and honey, adding red chili flakes, if desired. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.
- Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss together until well-coated in the sauce.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with tofu. Add vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli for extra nutrition.
