Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 200g thinly sliced chicken breast

Sauce

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar

Noodles

  • 150g rice noodles or egg noodles, soaked and drained according to package instructions

Cooking

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Garnish

  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Slice the chicken breast thinly for quick cooking. Mince the garlic cloves and slice the green onions. Soak the noodles following the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, approximately 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
  3. Create the Garlic Sauce: In the same pan, add a bit more oil if necessary. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not burnt. Stir in the soy sauce and honey or brown sugar, mixing well to form a sticky glaze.
  4. Combine Noodles and Chicken: Return the cooked chicken and noodles to the pan. Toss everything carefully to coat every noodle strand with the garlic sauce. Cook together for a couple more minutes so the sauce thickens and clings to the ingredients.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Turn off the heat and sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds on top. Serve the noodles hot for best flavor and satisfaction.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for optimal flavor; avoid pre-minced or powdered garlic.
  • Do not overcook noodles to prevent mushiness; keep them slightly firm before adding to the sauce.
  • Cook garlic on medium heat to avoid bitterness caused by burning.
  • Mix sauce ingredients thoroughly before adding to achieve a perfect glaze.
  • Toss everything quickly while the pan is still hot to maximize the sticky texture.
