  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 grams chicken thighs or breasts
  • 200 grams rice noodles or egg noodles
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles according to package instructions, usually 4–6 minutes until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water.
  2. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add chicken and stir-fry for 6–8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Pour the sauce over the chicken and simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  7. Add cooked noodles and toss everything together. Cook for another 2 minutes until heated through.
  8. Serve hot topped with sesame seeds, chopped green onions, and optional chili flakes.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic and ginger for the best flavor.
  • Rinse noodles with cold water to prevent sticking.
  • Adjust spice level by adding more chili flakes or a drizzle of sriracha.
  • Chicken thighs provide juicier results, while breasts offer a leaner option.
