Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Dice the chicken thighs into 2-3 cm pieces. Heat a large frying pan and add a touch of oil.. Once hot add in the diced chicken thigh season with salt and cook until just cooked through and sealed all over. This will take about 8-9 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, slice the chilli and spring onion (white left chunky, green thinly sliced and reserved). Mix the soy, honey, ginger and garlic paste, rice wine vinegar, oyster sauce, gochujang, mirin and sesame seeds.
Step 3
Cook the instant noodles according to to the packet instructions, including the seasoning sachet. Cook the noodles a little less than the packet suggests, as they will be cooked again shortly. Once cooked, drain, reserving the cooking liquid.
Step 4
In the pan you used for the chicken, turn the heat to medium and add a little more oil. Once hot, add the chilli and spring onion whites. Stir fry for 1 minute before adding sauce you made earlier. Allow the sauce to boil before adding the cooked chicken and the cooked noodles, along with a splash of their cooking liquid. Coat the noodles well in the sauce and ensure everything is coated well.
Step 5
Serve in bowls and garnish with the spring onions tops.
