Sesame Noodles with Chicken

Course: Dinner, Main Course
Cuisine: Oriental
Servings: 6

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 8 oz. spaghetti
  • 2 teaspoons salt for pasta water
  • 2 cups chicken diced cooked , or more
  • 1 cup green onions sliced
  • 1 bunch cilantro chopped ,optional
  • sesame seeds toasted ,for garnish, optional

Sauce Ingredients

  • ¼ cup unseasoned rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup soy sauce see notes
  • 3 T peanut oil see notes
  • 1 ½ T Chili Garlic Paste use more or less to taste, see notes
  • 2 T minced ginger or grated fresh ginger root
  • 2 T Asian sesame oil
  • 1 T Golden Monkfruit Sweetener

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add salt, then break spaghetti noodles in half and add to the boiling water.
  • Stir, let it come to a boil again, then cook until noodles are tender but still have a little bite, for us this was about 18 minutes for Fiber Gourmet Spaghetti but I would start checking sooner than that.
  • While pasta water is coming to a boil, combine unseasoned rice vinegar, soy sauce, peanut oil, Chili Garlic Paste, minced ginger, sesame oil, and Golden Monkfruit Sweetener to make the flavorful sauce.
  • While the noodles are cooking, chop the chicken into same-size pieces about 1/2 inch square, and combine chicken with about 1/3 cup of the sauce mixture to let it soak up the flavor of the sauce.
  • Wash cilantro, spin dry or dry with paper towels, and chop. Slice the green onions. (If you're not a cilantro fan I would just use a bit more sliced green onion.)
  • When noodles are cooked but still al dente, drain them into a colander placed in the sink.
  • Put noodles back into pan you cooked them in and add the diced chicken that was marinating in the sauce.
  • Pour the rest of the sauce mixture over chicken and noodles, then toss well enough that noodles and chicken are well-coated with the sauce mixture.
  • Add chopped green onions (and chopped cilantro if using) and toss just enough to combine.
  • Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds if using, and serve right away.
