Noodles....Asian Style!

So as I look back at the recipes I have published for my blog, I noticed that they all have been pasta dishes, so far. Can you tell what my favorite food is to cook? Well, you now probably think that I am going to share something different with you, buuuuut....I'm not. I have yet another one for you. Although, I am taking it in a different direction....with an asian flare instead of itialian to mix it up a bit.

I welcome you to my version of Sesame Noodles with Chicken.

There are a few ingredients to make this dish but the combination of flavors is delicious!

INGREDIENTS:

1 (16oz) pkg linguine pasta

6 cloves fresh garlic (or 3 Tblp minced)

3 Tbl sugar

4 Tbl peanut oil

6 Tbl rice vinegar

5 Tbs soy sauce

2 Tbs sesame oil

3-4 Tbs chili garlic sauce

6 green onion sliced (white and green parts)

3 large chicken breasts

1 Tbs sesame seeds, toasted

2 Tbs butter

DIRECTIONS:

Cut chicken breasts into pieces and salt and pepper to taste.

Cook chicken in a couple pats of butter on stovetop in a large pot (do not overcook - you will be cooking chicken more).

Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to boil.

Add pasta, cook until al dente according to cooking directions on box.

Once chicken is almost cooked through, remove pieces from pot and set aside.

In the pot that the chicken was cooking in, add sugar, peanut oil, white vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili sauce and garlic.

Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves.

Add chicken into sauce and cook through.

Pour linginue into pot and toss to coat.

Stir in green onions and toasted sesame seeds and serve.

ENJOY!
