1 red bell pepper, cored and seeded
2 scallions (white and green parts), sliced diagonally

1/4 cup chopped green onion (spring)
1/4 cup chopped dry roasted peanuts

Steps:

  • Fill a large saucepan three-fourths full with water and bring to a boil.

  • Simmer, uncovered, until tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

  • Refill the large saucepan three-fourths full with water.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat and add the salt.
  • Gently pull the strands of noodles apart, then drop them into the boiling water, stirring to separate the strands.
  • When the water comes to a second boil, boil for 1 minute longer.
  • Pour the noodles into a colander and rinse thoroughly with cold running water.
  • Drain thoroughly and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Toss with the peanut oil to keep the noodles from sticking together.
  • Set aside.
  • If using white sesame seeds, toast them in a small, dry frying pan over medium heat until golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  • If using black sesame seeds, leave them untoasted.
  • In a large bowl, toss together the chicken, bell pepper, carrot, cilantro and toasted or raw sesame seeds.
  • Arrange the cooked noodles in a wide shallow bowl.
  • Scatter the cucumber over the noodles and top with the chicken mixture.
  • Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • To make the dressing, in a small bowl, stir together the peanut butter, sesame paste, sugar, soy sauce and vinegar. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the peanut or corn oil, sesame oil and chili oil.
  • When hot, add the garlic, ginger and green onion; saute gently until fragrant but not browned, about 15 seconds.
  • Stir in the peanut butter-sesame paste mixture and cook until the mixture begins to form a light syrup, about 1 minute.
  • Remove from the heat and let cool to lukewarm.
  • Pour the warm dressing over the chicken salad and sprinkle with the peanuts.
