Ingredients
-
450 g (1 lb) boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into strips
-
Salt and pepper, to season
-
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
60 ml (¼ cup) soy sauce
-
60 ml (¼ cup) honey
-
1 tablespoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
-
1 teaspoon sesame oil
-
350–400 g (12–14 oz) cooked noodles (egg noodles, udon, or your favorite)
-
1 cup vegetables like bell peppers, snap peas, or broccoli (optional)

Sesame seeds and green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Cook the Chicken
-
Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
-
In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
-
Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, then remove and set aside.
-
-
Make the Sauce
-
In the same pan, add a little extra oil if needed and sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
-
Stir in the soy sauce, honey, vinegar, and sesame oil. Bring to a simmer.
-
-
Add Veggies (Optional)
-
If using, add your chopped vegetables to the sauce and stir-fry until they are tender but still crisp.
-
-
Combine with Noodles
-
Return the cooked chicken to the pan. Add the cooked noodles and toss everything in the sticky garlic sauce, making sure the sauce coats everything evenly.
-
-
Garnish & Serve
-
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately while hot and saucy.
-
Notes
-
Use cooked noodles so they don’t overcook when added to the sauce.
-
Adjust honey and soy sauce to balance sweetness and saltiness to your taste.
-
Be careful not to burn the garlic — it can become bitter quickly.
