# Steps:
01 -
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili flakes to create the sticky sauce base.

Toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with cornstarch until evenly coated to ensure proper thickening during cooking.

Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken and stir to coat evenly. Allow the mixture to simmer until the sauce thickens, about 2–3 minutes.

Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss until fully combined with the sauce-coated chicken.

Tofu, shrimp, or beef can be substituted for chicken.

Toss noodles with oil after draining to prevent sticking.

For a thicker sauce, increase cornstarch or extend the simmering time.
