If you’ve been around me long enough, then you’ll know I’m allll about quick and easy. In fact, the four main dinner recipe categories here on Savory Nothings are Instant Pot, Slow Cooker, One Pot and Quick Recipes. And these noodles fight right into those easy dinners!
Recipe tips
- With this recipe, as with any stir fry recipe, it’s essential that you prep ahead before you even begin thinking about the cooking process. Before your pan hits the hot stove, all your vegetables should be cut, our sauce should be stirred and your meat should be ready.
- While this is a quick and easy dinner option, it’s not a set-it-and-forget-it kinda deal. Stay at the stove, stir fry away and let your family know you won’t be available for entertainment during the next 30 minutes.
- If you don’t have spaghettini, this works just as well with regular spaghetti or other long, thin pasta shapes like Linguine.
Make ahead instructions
This isn’t a must, but you can easily meal prep for this recipe.
The sauce keeps for 3 days in a covered jar in the fridge. P.S. if you want to switch things up, this is also super delicious with my homemade teriyaki sauce!
You can slice the vegetables and keep them in airtight bags for a week.
The chicken and spaghetti you’ll have to do right before serving, but having the sauce and vegetables prepped ahead makes it much faster to cook on a busy weeknight!

Serving suggestions
This is a great meal by itself – you don’t really need to add anything. If you want to bulk it up a little, a cucumber salad or creamy coleslaw is great.

Honey Garlic Chicken Stir Fry Noodles
Recipe details
Ingredients
For the Sauce
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup liquid honey
- ¼ cup water or chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon oil
For the Stir Fry
- ½ pound spaghettini pasta
- ½ tablespoon oil
- 1 large chicken breast diced
- 2 large onions cut into thin wedges
- 1 large yellow pepper sliced into strips
- 1 large red pepper sliced into strips
- 1 large carrot cut into strips
- 2 cups thinly sliced red cabbage not packed
To Serve
- sliced green onion
- fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Thoroughly whisk together all sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
- Cook the spaghettini pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In the meantime, heat ½ tablespoon oil over medium-high heat in a very large pan or heavy-bottomed pot. If you have a Wok that’s great, but a large Dutch oven (or a wide frying pan) works in a pinch. Brown the chicken for 2-3 minutes, stirring a few times.
- Add all the vegetables and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often. Pour the sauce over the vegatables and bubble up once while stirring constantly. Toss with the cooked pasta and serve with green onions and cilantro.
