# Instructions:
01 -
Slice chicken into small chunks about an inch wide. Toss in a bowl with soy sauce, honey and hot chili sauce. Let sit anywhere from 30 mins to a couple hours.
02 -
Fill a pot with salted water and bring to a boil. Cook pasta following box directions. Drain when done and set off to the side.
03 -
Stir all liquid mix items together except the water and corn starch until smooth.
04 -
Warm sesame oil in a pan on medium-low flame. Throw in white scallion parts and cook 2-3 mins. Toss in garlic and cook another minute.
05 -
Dump chicken into the pan (throw out leftover marinade). Cook about 2-3 mins each side until it reaches 165°F inside.
06 -
In another small pot, warm the sauce mix on low heat. Mix corn starch with water to make it smooth, then pour into sauce. Let it bubble up and get thicker.
07 -
Put the cooked pasta into the thick sauce and roll around to cover. Add the cooked chicken pieces and mix it all up. Let it all hang out together for a minute or two.
08 -
Sprinkle smashed peanuts and green scallion bits on top. Eat right away, maybe with some broccoli or sliced peppers on the side.
# Notes:
01 -
You can make this dish earlier and warm it up later, but the pasta might soak up more sauce while sitting.
02 -
Make it more or less hot by playing with the amount of chili sauce and red pepper bits.
03 -
For the real deal taste, grab some Chinese egg noodles if you can find them.
