Cold Chicken Noodles with Sesame Sauce
Great on a hot day and a great way to use up those leftover roasted chicken, especially the drier breast meat.
The sauce can also be used as a dressing for regular salads.
Ingredients:
Leftover roasted chicken, shredded
One cucumber, peeled and shredded (can substitute with lettuce)
Bean sprouts, blanched
Cooked Chinese noodles or spaghetti, drained under cold water.
Sauce Recipe:
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 tablespoon sesame paste
1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoon rice or apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 finely minced garlic clove
1/4 to 1/2 cup hot water
1 teaspoon chilli oil or chille sauce (optional)
chopped green onions or cilantro for garnish
Mix above with enough hot water to form heavy cream consistency.
Sauce is enough for 2-3 people if serving as a complete dinner.
Put cold noodles on plate. Top with cucumber and bean sprouts, then chicken. Pour sauce over, garnish with cilantro and serve.
