#24 Sesame Chicken Noodles


Looking for a new taste this week and knowing that there is a much wider selection in the grocery store in the States, we enjoyed some sesame chicken this week. My niece loved it so much, she had 3 helpings. So thanks to some yummy chili sauce from Thailand, here's another winner!

Sesame Chicken Noodles

Ingredients:
1 16 oz. box of spaghetti
4 tbsp. peanut butter
2 tbsp. honey
2 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. Thai chili sauce (or more if you like spice)
2 tsp. sesame oil
2 tsp. ground ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 green onions, chopped
4 tsp. sesame seeds
2 chicken breasts, boiled with salt, pepper and garlic
1 cup of cooked broccoli

Directions
1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the spaghetti, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occassionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. (As I taught my niece and nephews, if you throw a piece of spaghetti at the wall and it sticks, that means it is done.) Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
2. Melt the peanut butter in a large microwave safe bowl, 15 to 20 seconds (depending on your microwave). Mix the honey, soy sauce and chili sauce into the peanut butter, then stir in the sesame oil and ginger. Stir in the garlic, green onions, cooked chicken and broccoli and pour the entire mixture over the noodles. Top with the sesame seeds.

Buen Provecho!
