1/3 cup WONDRA flour
1 cup chicken stock 
1/2 cup Bragg’s liquid aminos

• Add the onions, chili paste, ginger, garlic and scallions to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Pour in the sauce and deglaze the pan.
• Add noodles, stirring to combine.
• Return chicken and veggies to pan, simmering 4-5 minutes until heated through and sauce begins to thicken.
• Spoon sauce over and around the chicken and noodles.

NOTE:

This recipe originally called for bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, but I changed it out to make a more user friendly dish 😀
