3. How to Make Savory Sticky Garlic Chicken Noodles Delight
Step 1: Cook the Noodles
Boil a large pot of water, add a pinch of salt, and cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Chicken
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Garlic Sauce
In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 4: Combine Everything
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sauce and toss well. Add the cooked noodles and stir until everything is evenly coated and heated through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
4. Storage Tips for Leftover Garlic Chicken Noodles
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain the texture, store the noodles and chicken separately if possible. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of water or broth if the noodles seem dry.
