# Steps:
01 -
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili flakes. Stir well to integrate all flavors.
02 -
Toss chicken pieces with cornstarch until evenly coated to ensure proper thickening of the sauce later.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add coated chicken and cook until golden and completely cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes.
04 -
Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken and stir continuously to coat evenly. Allow the mixture to simmer until the sauce thickens, approximately 2-3 minutes.
05 -
Cook noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
06 -
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the chicken and sauce. Toss everything together until the noodles are completely coated in the sticky sauce.
07 -
Garnish with freshly chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving hot.
# Notes:
01 -
Use tamari and gluten-free noodles for a gluten-free version.
02 -
Add vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas for more nutrition.
03 -
Tofu, shrimp, or beef can be substituted for chicken.
04 -
Toss noodles with a small amount of oil after draining to prevent sticking.
05 -
For a thicker sauce, increase cornstarch or extend the simmering time.
