Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts thinly sliced – Boneless, skinless chicken cooks quickly and soaks up the sauce better.
  • 8 oz noodles lo mein or spaghetti – Choose lo mein for authentic texture; spaghetti works in a pinch.
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce – Use low-sodium for a lighter salt profile and better flavor balance.
  • 2 tbsp honey – Adds natural sweetness and helps thicken the glaze.
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil – Brings rich nutty aroma that’s key to Asian stir-fries.
  • 1 tsp garlic minced – Freshly minced garlic gives a more robust and aromatic flavor.
  • 1 tsp ginger minced – Use fresh ginger for a peppery kick and authentic depth.
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables carrots, bell peppers, broccoli – Fresh veggies give better texture than frozen.
  • Sesame seeds and sliced green onions – For garnish and a touch of crunch and color.

Method
 

  1. Start by boiling water in a large pot and cooking your noodles according to the package directions. Don’t overcook—they should be slightly firm (al dente), as they’ll cook a bit more when stir-fried. Once done, drain and set aside. A quick rinse in cold water prevents them from sticking.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add your sliced chicken breasts and cook them until golden brown and fully cooked through. This takes about 5–7 minutes. Stir occasionally so they cook evenly and stay tender.
  3. Lower the heat and add in the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds to release their flavors. Pour in the soy sauce and honey, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 2–3 minutes, or until it thickens slightly into a glossy glaze.
  4. Now toss in your mixed vegetables and cooked noodles. Stir-fry everything together, making sure the sauce evenly coats every strand of noodle and all the veggies are heated through but still a little crisp. This should take another 3–4 minutes.
  5. Once everything is well coated and hot, remove from heat. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top before serving. Plate immediately for the freshest flavor and best texture.
