Ingredients
300g boneless chicken thighs or breasts (sliced thin)
200g egg noodles or lo mein noodles
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
2 green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
1. Heat oil in a skillet and sear the sliced chicken until golden and crispy on the edges. Remove and set aside.
2. Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain, toss with sesame oil, and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
4. Stir in light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, and rice vinegar. Add cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
5. Return chicken to the skillet, add noodles, and toss everything until fully coated in sauce.
6. Serve topped with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
Notes
Use a mix of light and dark soy sauces for better depth of flavor.
Don’t skip the cornstarch slurry — it’s the secret to that signature sticky texture.
Add steamed broccoli, carrots, or snap peas if you want to sneak in more veggies.
