Method
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook noodles according to package directions until just al dente, typically 6 to 8 minutes. Drain well and toss with a tiny drop of sesame oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together minced garlic, soy sauce, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes until well combined. Set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add thinly sliced chicken in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown on the bottom. Flip and cook another 2 to 3 minutes until cooked through and golden. Transfer to a plate if working in batches.
- Add broccoli florets to the same skillet. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes, tossing frequently, until bright green and crisp-tender. Add a tablespoon or two of water if needed to steam slightly.
- Return all chicken to the skillet with broccoli. Pour the prepared sauce over everything. Toss to coat and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
- Add cooked noodles to the skillet. Use tongs to toss everything together until noodles are fully coated and evenly distributed with chicken and broccoli. Continue tossing for 1 to 2 minutes until noodles are heated through.
- Divide among four serving bowls. Top generously with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
Storage: Refrigerate in airtight containers for up to 4 days. Noodles absorb sauce over time, intensifying flavor. Reheat on stovetop with added water or in microwave at 70% power. Not ideal for freezing. Substitutions: Use shrimp (cook 2-3 minutes per side) or tofu for protein. Zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash for low-carb. Any Asian noodle works. Adjust sriracha and pepper flakes for heat level. Vegetables: Add bell peppers, snap peas, carrots, mushrooms, or water chestnuts. Pro Tip: Toss raw chicken with 1 tablespoon cornstarch and soy sauce 10 minutes before cooking for velvety texture. Prep all ingredients before cooking as stir-frying happens quickly.
