Description

This Sticky Garlic Chicken Noodles recipe combines tender chicken pieces cooked in a sweet and savory garlic-ginger sauce, tossed with tender noodles and finished with fresh green onions and sesame seeds. A quick and flavorful dish perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Chicken and Sauce

  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Noodles and Garnish

  • 8 oz noodles (rice noodles or egg noodles)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes (if using) thoroughly to form a flavorful sauce.
  2. Coat the chicken: Toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with cornstarch until each piece is evenly coated, which will help create a nice crispy texture when cooked.
  3. Heat the oil: Warm the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat to ensure it is hot enough for frying the chicken.
  4. Cook the chicken: Add the coated chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked through.
  5. Add the sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken and stir well to coat. Let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky.
  6. Cook the noodles: Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
  7. Toss noodles with chicken: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the sticky chicken and toss everything together to combine flavors evenly.
  8. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds (if using) over the top and serve the dish hot.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for juicier meat or chicken breast for a leaner option.
  • Adjust the amount of red chili flakes based on your preferred spice level or omit if you prefer no heat.
  • Rice noodles provide a gluten-free option, while egg noodles add a richer texture.
  • For a crunchier texture, you can double coat the chicken with cornstarch.
  • Sesame seeds add a nice nutty flavor and garnish but are optional.
