Ingredients
  

  • 300 g boneless chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 250 g egg noodles, ramen noodles, or rice noodles
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce (or regular soy + ½ teaspoon molasses)
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 spring onion, thinly sliced (white and green parts separated)
  • 2 tablespoons water or broth
  • ½ tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook noodles 2-3 minutes less than package instructions for 'al dente' texture. Drain and set aside.
  • Whisk soy sauces, honey, minced garlic, and cornstarch in a bowl until smooth.
  • In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken slices and cook 3-4 minutes, tossing until golden but under-cooked.
  • Reduce heat slightly, add 2 tablespoons water or broth, and pour in the sauce. Cook 3-5 minutes until sauce thickens and glazes the chicken.
  • Toss cooked noodles into the skillet and stir-fry 2 minutes until coated in sauce and heated through.
  • Return chicken to the pan with noodles, stir briefly to combine. Garnish with spring onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Use chicken thighs for heartier flavor and juiciness
Vegetarian: Substitute mushroom oyster sauce and skip chicken for a meatless version
Adjust sauce sweetness by altering honey quantity
Serve with steamed Chinese broccoli or bok choy
