Ingredients

Scale
  • 300g chicken breast or thighs
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 200g cooked noodles (ramen or lo mein)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 stalks green onions, chopped
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by slicing the chicken into bite-sized pieces. This will not only help them cook evenly but also ensure that each piece gets adequately coated in the delicious sauce. Setting them aside for a moment allows you to focus on the other preparatory steps without getting overwhelmed.
  2. Next up, you’ll want to mince the garlic and grate the fresh ginger. These ingredients are essential for creating that aromatic, flavorful coat that makes this dish stand out. The combination of garlic and ginger will contribute significantly to the dish’s overall flavor profile.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and a splash of water. This mixture will serve as the sticky glaze for the chicken. Make sure the brown sugar dissolves fully for the best outcome!
  4. If your noodles aren’t already cooked, prepare them according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside while you focus on the chicken. The timing is key here, as you want to add the noodles just when the chicken and sauce are ready.
  5. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken. Cook until it’s golden brown and fully cooked through, which should take about 6 to 7 minutes. It’s essential to resist the urge to crowd the pan to allow the chicken to brown rather than steam.
  6. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the chicken in the pan and toss to coat. This step is crucial for creating the sticky texture of the sauce later on. The cornstarch will activate, helping to thicken the sauce beautifully as it cooks.
  7. Once the chicken is coated in cornstarch, pour the prepared sauce into the skillet. Allow it to simmer for about 3 to 4 minutes or until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky. Stir frequently to avoid burning, making sure that every piece of chicken is thoroughly coated.
  8. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss everything together until the noodles are fully coated in the delicious, sticky sauce. This step melds all flavors and ensures every bite is packed with taste.
  9. Drizzle the sesame oil over the noodles and mix well. Garnish with chopped green onions and, if you like, sprinkle some sesame seeds for an added crunch and flavor.
  10. Your Sticky Garlic Chicken Noodles are now ready to be served! Enjoy them hot, a squeeze of lime or a sprinkling of chili flakes on top can elevate the experience.

Notes

Ensure chicken is cooked fully before serving; internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F). Adjust the sweetness of the sauce by adding more brown sugar or reducing it based on your taste preference.
