Ingredients
  • FOR THE NOODLES, YOU’LL NEED:
  • 1 chicken breast
  • (left at room temperature for 1-2 hours so it's not cold from the fridge)
  • 2 slices ginger
  • 1 scallion (cut into 3-inch lengths)
  • 2 servings noodles (almost any noodle or pasta will work)
  • ½ seedless cucumber (julienned)
  • 1½ cup bean sprouts (raw or blanched)
  • ⅓ – ½ cup dry roasted peanuts (coarsely chopped; see our wok roasted peanuts recipe, which you can prepare ahead of time. Store-bought also works.)
  • 1 scallion (finely chopped)
  • A small handful chopped cilantro
  • FOR THE SAUCE, YOU’LL NEED:
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 4 cloves garlic (finely minced)
  • 4 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 2 – 3 teaspoons chili oil (omit if you don’t like heat)
  • Salt (to taste)
Instructions
  1. First, poach the chicken breast. Fill a small pot with enough water to submerge the chicken breast (but don’t add the chicken yet), and add the ginger and scallion. When the water comes to a boil, add the chicken, and bring to a boil again. Immediately cover the pot, shut off the heat, and let the chicken sit in the water for 22-25 minutes. In the meantime, prepare the rest of the ingredients.
  2. Prepare the sauce by combining all the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
  3. Cook your choice of noodle by following the package instructions. Remember, no one likes soggy overcooked noodles, so keep an eye on them or set a timer! Drain the noodles and rinse thoroughly under cold water. They’re now ready to use. If you’re not ready to eat them right away, mix in about 1-2 teaspoons of oil to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
  4. Assemble the noodles by mixing the following together: noodles, shredded chicken, julienned cucumber, bean sprouts, chopped peanuts, scallion and cilantro. Pour the sauce over everything and toss together. Serve!
