Ingredients
- 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)

Instructions

- Toss the chicken pieces in cornstarch until evenly coated.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

- Pour the sauce over the chicken and stir to coat. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened.
- Cook the noodles according to package instructions, about 5–7 minutes, then drain and toss with a little oil to prevent sticking.

- Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- Use tamari and gluten-free noodles for a gluten-free version.
- Add vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas for more nutrition and color.
- Tofu, shrimp, or beef can be used instead of chicken.
- Toss noodles with oil after draining to prevent sticking.
- Increase cornstarch or simmer longer for a thicker sauce.
