For the Chicken and Noodles

500g chicken breast, sliced
300g egg noodles
3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

Cook the Noodles

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Combine Noodles and Chicken

Tips for the Best Sticky Garlic Chicken Noodles

To ensure your chicken remains tender and juicy, avoid overcooking it. Slicing the chicken into thin pieces helps it cook quickly and evenly. Pay attention to the color; the chicken should be golden brown and no longer pink in the center.

When cooking the noodles, remember to salt your water generously. This is your opportunity to season the noodles from the start, which enhances the overall flavor of the dish. Always follow the package instructions for cooking time to achieve that perfect al dente texture.

Serving Suggestions

Sticky Garlic Chicken Noodles can be served on their own or paired with a side of steamed vegetables for a complete meal. Consider adding a refreshing cucumber salad or a simple stir-fried vegetable medley for extra crunch and nutrients.

For a family-style dinner, serve the noodles in a large bowl, allowing everyone to help themselves. This not only makes for an inviting presentation but also encourages sharing and conversation around the table.

Storage and Reheating

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, add a splash of water or a drizzle of soy sauce to prevent the noodles from sticking together and to refresh the flavors.

For best results, reheat on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. This method helps maintain the texture of the noodles and ensures your meal is just as delicious as when it was first made.
