02 - 60 ml soy sauce
03 - 45 ml honey
04 - 4 garlic cloves, minced

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes in a bowl to create the flavorful sauce base.
02 - Toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with cornstarch until evenly coated to achieve a sticky texture after cooking.
03 - Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
04 - Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken and stir to coat thoroughly. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky.
05 - Prepare noodles according to package instructions, drain well, and toss with a little oil to prevent sticking.
06 - Add cooked noodles to the skillet with chicken and sauce. Toss thoroughly so noodles are evenly coated with the sticky garlic glaze.
07 - Top with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
