More Info and Order
- 1 lb. whole-wheat spaghetti
- 1/2 c. reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2-3 lg. chicken breasts (marinated and grilled)
- 2 TBSP sesame oil
- 2 TBSP Olive oil
- 1 TBSP lime juice (fresh is best)
- 1 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
- 6 scallions, chopped fine
- 1/4 c. chopped fresh cilantro
- 4 c. snow peas, trimmed and slices to 1/2"
- 1 medium red bell pepper (green or yellow is fine) optional
- 1/2 c. toastes sesame seeds
If you can, the night before combine 4 TBSP low-sodium soy sauce, 2 TBSP olive oil, 1 tsp. fresh crushed garlic and 1 tsp. ground ginger. Clean and trim chicken breasts and marinate overnight. If you can't do it the night before, a few hours before is fine.
Heat grill to 350 and grill chicken until done, approx 20 minutes. Put to the side to cool. You can cook chicken in advance as well!
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain; rinse under cold water.
While the pasta is boiling whisk soy sauce, sesame oil, olive oil, lime juice, crushed red pepper, 1/4 cup scallions and TBSP cilantro. Add noodles after drained and rinses and add snow peas and bell pepper toss to coat.
Sprinkle chicken and sesame seeds on top and garnish with remaining cilantro and scallions.
I actually prefer this cold, you can make it a day ahead and serve. Warm or cold it's a wonderful dish that everyone will enjoy!
