- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil
- 3 packages instant ramen noodles (3 ounces each), seasoning packets discarded
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

Instructions
-
- Season chicken with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Toss chicken with cornstarch until lightly coated.
- Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook chicken in batches for 6 to 8 minutes until crisp and cooked through to 165°F.
- Boil ramen noodles for 2 minutes until slightly underdone. Drain.
- Add remaining neutral oil and sesame oil to the skillet.
- Cook garlic and ginger for 20 to 30 seconds.
- Stir in soy sauce, chicken broth, hot honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sriracha if using.
- Bubble the sauce for 1 minute.
- Add cabbage and cook 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add ramen and toss to coat.
- Return chicken to the pan, or serve it over the noodles for maximum crispness.
- Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- Undercook the ramen slightly so it does not turn mushy in the pan.
- Cook the chicken in batches for better browning and crisp texture.
- If you want more sauce, add an extra 2 to 3 tablespoons of broth.
- Regular honey plus hot sauce works if you do not have hot honey.
- This recipe is best served fresh for the best noodle texture.
