Sesame Noodles with Chicken
Christine Gilbert
Kosher salt
1 lb. dried whole-grain spaghetti
6 Tbs. Asian sesame oil
4 medium cloves garlic, peeled
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
½ cup less-sodium ginger-flavored soy sauce (or use regular soy-sauce and add 1 Tbs. minced fresh ginger)
6 Tbs. rice vinegar
¼ cup light or dark brown sugar
6-8 frozen chicken tenders
2 tsp. peanut oil
Freshly ground black pepper
6 scallions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
Any thinly sliced vegetable can be added: grated carrots (raw), sugar-snap peas (steamed for two minutes in skillet after cooking chicken),
red bell pepper (stir-fry in skillet after cooking chicken) , peanuts and chopped cilantro for garnish
Cook, drain and rinse pasta. Transfer the pasta to a large bowl, and toss with 1 Tbs. of the sesame oil. In a food processor, pulse the garlic until roughly chopped. [Add the fresh ginger with the garlic if it is not in the soy sauce.] Add the remaining 5 Tbs. sesame oil, and the peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, and 1 ½ tsp. salt. Process until smooth, stopping as necessary to scrape down the bowl, about 30 seconds. Set aside. Place frozen chicken in a frying pan and cover with ½ cup Yoshida’s sauce (or terryiaki sauce) and ¼ cup water. Let the chicken simmer until cooked through – season with fresh pepper. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and slice crosswise into ½-inch pieces. Add the chicken to the spaghetti along with half of the scallions and any other vegetables you want to include. Pour about 1-1/4 cups of the dressing over the pasta and toss to coat. Add more dressing to taste—you may not need to use it all. Transfer to a serving platter, sprinkle with the remaining scallions, cilantro, and peanuts and serve.
