COLD NOODLES WITH SESAME SAUCE, CHICKEN AND CUCUMBERS



Cold Noodles With Sesame Sauce, Chicken And Cucumbers image

It doesn't surprise me how often people order cold noodles with sesame sauce at Chinese restaurants. What is surprising, though, is how few people make the dish at home. It is incredibly easy to prepare, with common ingredients, and you can serve it as a main course or appetizer. You don't even need sesame sauce. Peanut butter is an acceptable substitute, as long as you use good peanut butter, simply defined as that made with peanuts and salt. (The name brands contain about 10 percent added hydrogenated fat, plus a couple of other typical additives.) Creamy is more common, but chunky is also good. It's easy enough to buy sesame paste (tahini) at health-food stores specializing in Middle Eastern ingredients and even at supermarkets. Sesame oil, which contributes mightily to the flavor of the finished dish, is a staple sold in Asian food stores (and, increasingly, in supermarkets).

Categories     dinner, quick, noodles, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Salt
1 to 2 cups shredded cooked chicken or about 8 ounces boneless chicken breast
1 pound cucumber
12 ounces long pasta like linguine, or 16 ounces fresh Chinese egg noodles
2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
1/2 cup sesame paste (tahini) or peanut butter
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons soy sauce, or to taste
1 teaspoon minced ginger, optional
1 tablespoon rice or wine vinegar
Hot sesame oil or Tabasco sauce to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or more
At least 1/2 cup minced scallions for garnish

Steps:

  • Set a large pot of water to boil and salt it. If your chicken is uncooked, poach it in water as it comes to a boil; it will cook in about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, peel cucumbers, cut them in half, and, using a spoon, scoop out seeds. Cut cucumber into shreds and set aside.
  • When water comes to a boil, cook pasta until tender but not mushy. (If chicken is not done, you can still add pasta; remove chicken when it is done.) While pasta is cooking, whisk together sesame oil and paste, sugar, soy, ginger, vinegar, hot oil and pepper in a large bowl. Thin sauce with hot water, so that it is about the consistency of heavy cream; you will need 1/4 to 1/2 cup. Stir in cucumber. When pasta is done, drain it and run pasta (and chicken, if necessary) under cold water. Drain. Shred chicken (the easiest way to do this is with your fingers).
  • Toss noodles and chicken with sauce and cucumbers. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary (the dish may need salt), then garnish and serve.

COLD SESAME NOODLES WITH SHREDDED CHICKEN



Cold Sesame Noodles With Shredded Chicken image

So easy and delicious! Don't be afraid of all of the steps - it really is an easy recipe! You can save time by making and shredding the chicken the day before. This recipe was featured on America's Test Kitchen and printed in Cooks Illustrated magazine. I tweaked it a bit, but the basic recipe is in tact. My family LOVES this dish and I am asked to make it quite often.

Provided by Zoesmama

Categories     Spaghetti

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (Jif recommended)
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
fresh ginger, grated or minced (about 1 tbsp, I use the minced ginger that comes in a jar)
5 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon hot sauce (like Tabasco)
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
hot water
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons salt, divided
1 lb fresh Chinese noodles or 1 lb spaghetti
2 tablespoons sesame oil
4 scallions or 4 green onions, sliced thin on diagonal
1 medium carrot, peeled and grated on large holes of box grater (about 2/3 cup) (optional)
1/2 cucumber, sliced on box grater and chopped into matchstick-sized pieces (optional)
crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • First, make the shredded chicken. (As noted above, you can do this the day before and just take the shredded chicken out of the refrigerator before you begin the final preparations.) Boil 4 qts. of water with one tablespoon of salt. When the water reaches a boil, add the chicken and cook for about 20-25 minutes.
  • Pour out the water and allow the chicken to cool on a cutting board or in a bowl.
  • If you are unable to find toasted sesame seeds, toast the sesame seeds in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1 tablespoon sesame seeds in a small bowl.
  • In a blender or small food processor, puree the remaining 3 tablespoons sesame seeds, peanut butter, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, hot sauce, and sugar until smooth, about 30 seconds. With the machine running, add hot water 1 tablespoon at a time until the sauce has the consistency of heavy cream, about 5 tablespoons; set the mixture aside (it can be left in the blender jar or food processor workbowl). If you wish, add the crushed red pepper for a little zing. (Start with 1/8 of a teaspoon and go from there.).
  • Bring 5 quarts water and the other tablespoon of salt to a boil in a stockpot over high heat. While you wait for the water to boil, you can shred your chicken.
  • Using 2 forks, shred the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  • Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook them according to the directions on the package (about 4 minutes for fresh and 10 minutes for dried pasta).
  • Drain the noodles, return them to the pot, then rinse them again with cold running tap water until they are cool to the touch; drain them again.
  • In a large bowl, toss the noodles with the sesame oil until evenly coated. Add the shredded chicken, scallions, carrot, and sauce; toss to combine. Divide among individual bowls, sprinkle each bowl with a portion of reserved sesame seeds, and cucumber decoration and serve.
