Ingredients
  

For the sauce
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp red chili flakes (optional) For heat
Main ingredients

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes (if using) thoroughly to form a flavorful sauce.
  2. Toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with cornstarch until evenly coated.
Cooking

  2. Add the coated chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown and fully cooked through.
  3. Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken and stir well to coat all pieces. Let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until it thickens and becomes sticky.
  4. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions until tender, then drain and set aside.

  6. Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds (if using) over the top for a fresh finish and extra flavor. Serve hot!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove. For meal prep, keep noodles and chicken separate until ready to serve.
