Description
A quick and delicious stir-fry of tender chicken tossed with glossy honey-soy sauce and chewy noodles, perfect for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
- 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 directions until al dente, drain, and toss with oil.
- Toss the chicken pieces with cornstarch until evenly coated, then shake off excess.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 4–6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium. Sauté garlic and ginger in the same skillet for 30–45 seconds until fragrant.
- Add soy sauce, honey, and red chili flakes to the skillet. Simmer and reduce for 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return chicken to the skillet to coat in sauce. Add the cooked noodles and toss to combine. If too thick, add a splash of water to loosen.
- Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, use tamari. You can reduce honey for less sweetness or adjust with rice vinegar for balance.
