Instructions

Cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a bowl, toss chicken slices with cornstarch until evenly coated.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter and add garlic and onion. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Add sliced bell peppers and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until slightly tender.
Whisk together soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
Pour the sauce into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Let it thicken slightly, about 1–2 minutes.
Return the chicken to the skillet, add the cooked noodles, and toss everything together until evenly coated and sticky.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.

Notes

Use udon, rice noodles, or even spaghetti — any type of noodle works great.
Add broccoli, carrots, or snap peas for extra veggies.
For extra heat, add chili paste or sriracha to the sauce.
Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat beautifully in a skillet.
