Panda Express Mandarin Chicken and Noodles

6-8 skinless chicken thigh fillets

1 cup sugar
½ cup soy sauce
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
½ cup water
2 Tablespoons flour

For sauce; combine sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, sesame oil, garlic and ginger in a
saucepan. Heat until almost a boil. Combine water with flour in a small bowl and stir until flour is dissolved. Once the sauce starts to boil add the flour water mixture. Simmer for 4-6 minutes or until a little thicker.
