Method
- Combine the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes in a small bowl. Whisk until the honey dissolves completely into the sauce and set aside.
- Place the chicken pieces in a medium bowl and sprinkle the cornstarch over them. Toss thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated with a thin layer of cornstarch.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the chicken in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Pour the prepared sauce directly over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir continuously to coat all pieces evenly. Let the sauce simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until it thickens and becomes glossy.
- While the chicken cooks, prepare the noodles in a separate pot according to package directions. Drain well and add them directly to the skillet with the sauced chicken.
- Toss everything together using tongs until the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce. Remove from heat and transfer to serving bowls.
- Garnish generously with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
For extra heat, increase red chili flakes to 1 teaspoon or add sriracha. Add vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli for additional nutrition. Use gluten-free soy sauce and rice noodles for a gluten-free version. Sauce will thicken when refrigerated; add water or broth when reheating.
