Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Noodles
- 2 chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 8 oz egg noodles
Sauce and Oils
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
Vegetables and Aromatics
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
Garnish
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, and red chili flakes (if using). Set aside.
- Cook Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced chicken breasts and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add Vegetables: Toss in the broccoli florets and bell pepper slices. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp but still vibrant.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the prepared soy sauce and honey mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly, then let it simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce.
- Add Noodles: Add the cooked egg noodles to the pan and toss thoroughly until the noodles are fully coated with the sticky sauce.
- Finish with Sesame Oil: Drizzle the sesame oil over the noodles and give everything one last toss to add a rich sesame aroma and flavor.
- Garnish: Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle the chopped green onions and sesame seeds on top before serving to add freshness and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic and vegetables for better flavor.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or chicken broth to adjust consistency.
- Substitute chicken with shrimp, beef, or tofu to customize the protein.
- Add chopped peanuts or cashews for extra crunch and flavor.
- To make gluten-free, use gluten-free soy sauce and noodles.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to one month.
- Reheat gently adding a splash of water to prevent sticking.
