  • 50 g breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder or flakes
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

  1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized strips and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Whisk the egg in a bowl until frothy; dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture and coat with breadcrumbs firmly.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  4. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water.

Notes

Feel free to marinate the chicken in soy sauce, garlic, and ginger for 30 minutes for added flavor. For a healthier option, consider baking the chicken instead of frying. If you have leftovers, store chicken and noodles separately in airtight containers; reheat in the oven for best results. Adjust the spice level to your preference by varying the amount of chili powder or flakes.
