Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 lb Chicken Breast or Thighs Tender and juicy; substitute with shrimp or tofu for variation.
For the Noodles
  • 8 oz Rice Noodles or Egg Noodles Base of the dish that brings chewiness; spaghetti works in a pinch.
For the Sauce
  • 4 cloves Garlic Fresh; roasted garlic can add a sweeter note.
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce Swap with tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey Adds sweetness and helps form the sticky glaze; maple syrup for vegan alternative.
  • 1 inch Ginger Fresh; dried ginger can be used if fresh isn't available.
  • 1 teaspoon Red Chili Flakes Adjust the amount to suit your spice preference.
For the Garnish
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds Sprinkle on top for added crunch; consider chopped nuts for a twist.
  • 2 stalks Green Onions Offers freshness and color; substitute with chives or omit if desired.

Equipment

  • large pan or wok

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by gathering your ingredients for the Sticky Garlic Chicken Noodles. Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces, mince the garlic and ginger, and prepare any additional vegetables. Have your noodles cooked and ready.
  2. In a large pan or wok, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces, stirring frequently for 5–7 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Lower the heat and add minced garlic and ginger to the pan, sautéing for 1-2 minutes. Then, pour in soy sauce, honey, and red chili flakes. Stir well and let simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  4. Add pre-cooked noodles into the sauce and toss to coat thoroughly. Stir gently for another 2 minutes over medium heat so the noodles absorb the sauce.
  5. Remove from heat and serve the Sticky Garlic Chicken Noodles on plates. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
