Equipment
- Large frying pan or wok
- Mixing bowls
- Tongs or a spatula
- Pot for boiling noodles
Instructions
- Prep the Chicken.Pat the chicken pieces dry with kitchen roll to remove any excess moisture. In a bowl, toss the chicken with cornflour, garlic pepper, onion powder, and hot paprika until evenly coated.
- Cook the Chicken.Heat a frying pan or wok over high heat with low-calorie cooking spray. Add the chicken, ensuring the pan isn’t overcrowded. Let the chicken cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes on each side to develop a crispy texture.
- Add Onion and Garlic.Once the chicken is almost cooked, reduce the heat and stir in the crushed garlic and sliced onion. Cook until the onion softens.
- Make the Sauce.In a small bowl, mix the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, crushed garlic, chili flakes, and the cornflour slurry.
- Finish the Dish.Add the sauce mixture to the pan with the chicken. Let it simmer and reduce until it becomes thick and sticky, coating the chicken evenly.
- Cook the Noodles.Boil the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and add them to the pan with the chicken and sauce. Toss everything together until well combined.
Notes
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: This ensures the chicken cooks evenly and gets crispy.
- Cornflour Consistency: Make sure to dissolve the cornflour in water to avoid lumps in the sauce.
- Sauce Watch: Keep an eye on the sauce as it thickens quickly; reduce the heat to prevent burning.
