Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add your choice of noodles, such as rice or egg noodles, and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually around 4-7 minutes. Once cooked, drain the noodles in a colander, rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process, and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add finely minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant and golden, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
  3. Add bite-sized chicken pieces to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned on the outside and cooked through.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until smooth and well combined. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the cooked chicken.
  5. Add the drained noodles to the skillet along with any vegetables of your choice, like bell peppers or snap peas. Toss everything together gently for 2-3 minutes on medium heat until heated through and well-coated with the sticky garlic sauce.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat and serve your Sticky Garlic Chicken Noodles immediately in bowls, garnishing with sliced green onions or sesame seeds for an extra touch.
