Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup chinese sesame paste or tahini (can also substitute creamy peanut butter)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
2 serrano chiles, de-stemmed
2 cloves garlic
1/3 cup basil leaves
1 bunch chopped scallions
1/3 cup mint leaves
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 pound angel hair pasta, blanched and refreshed
2 english cucumbers julienned
2 cups shredded chicken from whole roasted chicken, recipe follows
Garnish: 1 red bell pepper finely diced
1 whole chicken, preferably organic with giblets removed
Salt and black pepper to taste
Canola oil

Steps:

  • In a food processor, mix sesame paste, oils, and vinegar. Add chile, garlic and herbs and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. In a large mixing bowl toss pasta, cucumbers and chicken with dressing. Check for seasoning and garnish with red bell peppers and basil/mint leaves.
  • Pre-heat oven to 550 degrees. Rub chicken with oil, then salt and pepper. Place chicken, breast side up, in the oven and cook for about 25 minutes or until golden brown. May have to rotate the chicken for even coloring. When chicken is fully browned, turn down oven to 325 degrees. Cover with foil to prevent burning. Chicken will take another 45 to 55 minutes. Chicken is done when one can move the wing back and forth with great ease. Allow chicken to rest for 10 minutes before serving. When chicken is cooled, remove skin and hand-shred the meat. Broil the skin to crisp up then julienne for garnish.

So easy and delicious! Don't be afraid of all of the steps - it really is an easy recipe! You can save time by making and shredding the chicken the day before. This recipe was featured on America's Test Kitchen and printed in Cooks Illustrated magazine. I tweaked it a bit, but the basic recipe is in tact. My family LOVES this dish and I am asked to make it quite often.

Categories     Spaghetti

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (Jif recommended)
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
fresh ginger, grated or minced (about 1 tbsp, I use the minced ginger that comes in a jar)
5 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon hot sauce (like Tabasco)
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
hot water
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons salt, divided
1 lb fresh Chinese noodles or 1 lb spaghetti
2 tablespoons sesame oil
4 scallions or 4 green onions, sliced thin on diagonal
1 medium carrot, peeled and grated on large holes of box grater (about 2/3 cup) (optional)
1/2 cucumber, sliced on box grater and chopped into matchstick-sized pieces (optional)
crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • First, make the shredded chicken. (As noted above, you can do this the day before and just take the shredded chicken out of the refrigerator before you begin the final preparations.) Boil 4 qts. of water with one tablespoon of salt. When the water reaches a boil, add the chicken and cook for about 20-25 minutes.
  • Pour out the water and allow the chicken to cool on a cutting board or in a bowl.
  • If you are unable to find toasted sesame seeds, toast the sesame seeds in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1 tablespoon sesame seeds in a small bowl.
  • In a blender or small food processor, puree the remaining 3 tablespoons sesame seeds, peanut butter, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, hot sauce, and sugar until smooth, about 30 seconds. With the machine running, add hot water 1 tablespoon at a time until the sauce has the consistency of heavy cream, about 5 tablespoons; set the mixture aside (it can be left in the blender jar or food processor workbowl). If you wish, add the crushed red pepper for a little zing. (Start with 1/8 of a teaspoon and go from there.).
  • Bring 5 quarts water and the other tablespoon of salt to a boil in a stockpot over high heat. While you wait for the water to boil, you can shred your chicken.
  • Using 2 forks, shred the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  • Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook them according to the directions on the package (about 4 minutes for fresh and 10 minutes for dried pasta).
  • Drain the noodles, return them to the pot, then rinse them again with cold running tap water until they are cool to the touch; drain them again.
  • In a large bowl, toss the noodles with the sesame oil until evenly coated. Add the shredded chicken, scallions, carrot, and sauce; toss to combine. Divide among individual bowls, sprinkle each bowl with a portion of reserved sesame seeds, and cucumber decoration and serve.

SESAME NOODLES WITH SHREDDED CHICKEN



Sesame Noodles With Shredded Chicken image

Adapted from America's Test Kitchen _Cooking For Two 2009_. The recipe in the book does not make enough sauce; I have doubled the sauce ingredients here. If it's still not enough next time, I might increase them further. Commercial chunky peanut butter is better than natural or old-fashioned, because it has a bit more sweetness. This can be served cold or hot.

Categories     Chicken

Time 27m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

5 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted, divided
1/4 cup chunky peanut butter
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil, divided
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced finely
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (sriracha or other Asian style hot sauce preferred)
4 -6 tablespoons hot water
8 ounces cooked chicken, shredded
1/3 lb spaghetti or 1/2 lb fresh Chinese noodles
1/2 red bell pepper, cored and sliced into 1/4-inch-wide strips
1/2 cucumber, peeled, seeded and sliced across 1/4-inch wide
1 carrot, peeled and grated on the large holes of a box grater
2 scallions, sliced thinly on the bias
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro leaf (optional)

Steps:

  • In a blender, combine soy sauce, 3 tbsp sesame seeds, peanut butter, rice vinegar, brown sugar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, ginger, garlic and hot sauce. Process until smooth. With the blades still running, add hot water, 1 tbsp at a time, until the sauce has the thickness of heavy cream.
  • If serving hot, heat the chicken without overcooking it (1 minute or so in the microwave on high should do).
  • Cook the pasta in 4 qts of salted water until tender. Reserve 1/2 c of pasta water before draining. If serving cold, rinse under cold running water until cold.
  • Transfer noodles to a large bowl and toss with remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil. Add sauce, chicken, bell pepper, cucumber, carrot, scallions and cilantro if using. Toss well to combine. If the sauce looks too thick, drizzle with reserved pasta water and toss again; repeat until desired consistency is achieved. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tbsp sesame seeds and serve.

Tips:

- To make the sesame noodles, use a high-quality sesame oil for the best flavor. - When cooking the chicken, be sure to cook it until it is cooked through but still tender. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. - If you don't have time to make the sesame sauce from scratch, you can use a store-bought sauce. Just be sure to choose one that is made with high-quality ingredients. - To save time, you can cook the chicken and noodles ahead of time. Just store them separately in the refrigerator until you're ready to assemble the salad. - Garnish the salad with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or basil, for a pop of color and flavor.

Overall, these recipes for sesame noodles with shredded chicken are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick and healthy lunch or dinner.
