Sesame Noodles with Chicken
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.
