Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced into bite-sized pieces
Garlic Sauce
- 4 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Noodles
- 200 grams rice noodles or egg noodles
Vegetables & Garnishes
- 2 green onions, freshly chopped

Instructions
- Prepare the noodles: Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking, then set aside.
- Cook the chicken: In a hot pan with a small amount of oil, sauté the sliced chicken pieces until browned and cooked through to ensure tender and flavorful bites.
- Make the sticky garlic sauce: In the same pan, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in soy sauce, honey or brown sugar, and a splash of sesame oil, stirring constantly until the sauce becomes sticky and glossy.
- Toss noodles and chicken with sauce: Add the cooked noodles back into the pan with the chicken and sauce. Toss thoroughly to coat every strand and piece evenly with the sticky garlic glaze.
- Garnish and serve: Finish by sprinkling freshly chopped green onions and optional toasted sesame seeds. Serve the dish piping hot for best flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic for maximum aroma and flavor.
- Do not overcook noodles; keep them slightly firm to prevent mushiness.
- Cook chicken and sauce over medium-high heat for quick browning and a perfect glaze.
- Adjust the sweetness by altering honey or sugar quantity to your taste.
- For meal prep, cook chicken and sauce in advance and toss with freshly cooked noodles when serving.
