Ingredients:
For the crispy chicken:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
For the sesame noodles:
8 oz soba noodles or ramen noodles
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp peanut butter
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp garlic, minced
1 tsp ginger, minced
1 tbsp sesame seeds
2 green onions, chopped
For the fried eggs:
2 eggs
1 tbsp vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the crispy chicken:
In a bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dip the chicken pieces into the beaten egg and then coat them in the flour mixture. Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat and fry the chicken in batches until golden and crispy, about 5-6 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
Cook the noodles:
Cook the soba or ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Make the sesame sauce:
In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, peanut butter, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, and ginger until smooth and combined. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Assemble the sesame noodles:
Toss the cooked noodles in the sesame sauce until they are well coated. Divide the noodles into bowls.
Fry the eggs:
Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny (about 2-3 minutes). Season with a little salt and pepper.
Assemble the dish:
Top the sesame noodles with crispy chicken, a fried egg, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Garnish with chopped green onions.
