- 1 lb chicken breast or thighs tender protein that soaks up the sauce.
- 1/4 cup soy sauce adds a salty, umami depth.
- 3 tbsp honey brings sweetness and balances the flavors.

- 1 tsp grated ginger adds a zesty kick to the dish.
- 1/2 tsp red chili flakes (optional) for a little heat if you like.
- 2 tbsp cornstarch thickens the sauce for a perfect cling.
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil helps to sauté the chicken beautifully.
- 8 oz noodles (rice noodles or egg noodles) provides the lovely base.
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional) adds a nutty finish.

Notes
Use thighs instead of breasts for juicier chicken. Let the sauce cook a minute longer for a thicker texture. Make a double batch for an easy next-day lunch option. For added flavor, marinate the chicken in soy sauce and garlic for an hour beforehand. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
