Begin by cutting chicken thighs into bite-sized strips and tossing them with cornstarch, salt and pepper in a bowl until coated.

In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat and add the chicken strips in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.

In the same skillet, reduce heat and sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds, then stir in soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, and sesame oil. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.

Prepare your noodles according to package directions. Reserve a little pasta water, then drain the noodles.

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, add the drained noodles, and toss together until well-coated.

Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions and red pepper flakes.
