Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 3 tbsp cornstarch + 3 tablespoons water
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup hoisin
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1/2 lb fettuccine noodles
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground chicken
- salt and pepper to taste
- Cucumber for serving, optional
- bean sprouts for serving, optional
- peanuts for serving, optional
- green onions for serving, optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, cornstarch slurry, honey, hoisin, soy sauce, and sesame oil; set aside
- Cook noodles according to package directions, drain and set aside
- While noodles are cooking, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook, breaking it up into smaller pieces
- Add the chicken broth mixture to the pan and bring to a boil, allowing it to simmer about 10 minutes, or until desired thickness is reached (you can add some more cornstarch if you want it even thicker)
- Serve chicken with sauce over noodles with cucumber, beansprouts, peanuts and scallions if desired
Notes
- You could substitute ground pork for the ground chicken.
- Some versions of this recipe are spicier. If you want to add a little more zip to this you could add ground Sichuan peppercorns or a tablespoon or two of Sriracha or chili paste.
- If you really want to go authentic, then you could try to use traditional Chinese wheat and egg noodles.
