and on and on…

Honey Sriracha Chicken

Clearly I have a problem.  A tantalizing, sweet heat, sweet fire, sweet Sriracha problem.  I hope you share in my sweet and spicy obsession but even if you can’t handle heat (I love you Mom), you can always customize the level of spice in every recipe – including these Honey Sriracha Chicken Noodle Bowls!  I made and photographed these Noodle Bowls weeks ago and after prepping this post the other night, I couldn’t get them out of my mind.  I had to make them again.  Had to.   And I’m so glad I did.

But Patrick might have been more elated for the spontaneous Honey Sriracha Chicken Noodle Bowls.

Might have.

As he was stuffing his face, he emphatically proclaimed, “The sauce is perfect.”

As he continued to oooh and ahhhh, he said I should implore you all to make these,  or more accurately,  “Tell them they have to make these.  You can’t let this get lost in the shuffle.  Seriously…”

Isn’t he cute?  He is so concerned that you might miss out on serious deliciousness  if you don’t make these Noodle Bowls.

And he would be right.  

Honey Sriracha Sauce

This Honey Sriracha Sauce is truly is one of my favorites.  Its based off my Mongolian Beef but instead of Asian Sweet Chili Sauce, I have combined honey and Sriracha for sweet heat along with soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and splashes of hoisin (like Asian barbecue sauce) and mirin (Japanese sweet cooking rice wine).

If you aren’t familiar with hoisin and mirin (they can be found in the Asian section of your grocery store), they add that extra something-something that elevates this sauce to restaurant quality, obsessive worthy, “you have to make this” quality.

What is in Honey Sriracha Sauce?

• honey:  I wouldn’t change the amount of honey but instead customize the heat with the Sriracha
• Sriracha:   Sriracha is an Asian hot chili sauce.  You can add more or less to completely customize the heat level.   You can also add more Sriracha to individual chicken bowls. 
• soy sauce: take to use low sodium soy sauce.  
• freshly grated ginger:  you can substitute a heaping 1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger.
• garlic cloves:  you can substitute 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
• lemon juice: is necessary acidity to brighten and balance the Honey Sriracha Sauce
• sweet Japanese rice wine:  Rice wine is NOT rice vinegar- DO NOT switch them out.  Rice wine adds a sweetness and depth of flavor.  Rice vinegar, on the other hand will add an acidic flavor.  I use “Kikkoman Aji-Mirin: Sweet Cooking Rice Seasoning” which is commonly found in the Asian section of most grocery stores or you can Amazon it.  I highly suggest you google image before you head off to the grocery store so you know exactly what you are looking for.  The best substitute for rice wine is pale dry sherry.
• hoisin sauce:  is a Chinese Barbecue sauce and can be found in all supermarkets in the Asian aisle.  Only use Lee Kum Kee or Kikkoman because not all hoisin sauces are created equal.

How to Make Honey Sriracha Chicken Noodle Bowls

Step 4: Add noodles and stir until evenly combined. Taste and add additional Sriracha for more heat, more brown sugar for sweeter.

Step 5:  Garnish with green onions.

Honey Sriracha Chicken Noodle Bowls.  How do I love thee?   Please make these and find out!  For Patrick.  For me.  For your family.  For YOU!

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Honey Sriracha Sauce ingredients. Add 1/4 cup of this prepared Sauce to a large freezer bag along with chicken and let marinate for 30 minutes (time permitting) or just while you prep your vegetables. You can also do this step the night before and let chicken marinate in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil (may sub olive/coconut oil) over high heat in a large skillet. Drain excess marinade from chicken and add chicken to skillet. Saute just until no longer pink on the outside (chicken will finish cooking in the sauce). Add vegetables and saute 2 minutes.
3. Whisk Sauce to recombine and add to chicken/vegetables. Simmer until thickened and vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Add noodles and stir until evenly combined. Taste and add additional Sriracha for more heat, more brown sugar for sweeter.
4. Garnish with green onions.

Recipe Notes

*If you don't like heat, use 1 teaspoon or less sriracha and only 1/4 cup honey.
**Both mirin and hoisin can be found in the Asian section of any grocery store.
