Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Spread the sesame seeds in a medium skillet over medium heat, and toast until golden brown, shaking the pan occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes. Let cool, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the corn to the boiling water, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the corn to a colander, reserving the boiling water for later use, and run the corn under cold water to cool. Cut the kernels from the cobs; set aside.
- Transfer the sesame seeds to a blender and grind for 15 seconds. Add the oil, and puree until smooth and emulsified, about 15 seconds. Add the lemon juice, soy sauce, sugar, chile-garlic sauce and ginger, and blend for another 15 seconds.
- Add the soba noodles to the boiling water, and cook until the noodles no longer have a hard, chalky bite but are still springy, 3 to 4 minutes. Strain the noodles in a colander, and run them under cold water to stop the cooking quickly. When the noodles are completely cool, shake the colander vigorously to remove as much water as possible (if the noodles are too wet, they will dilute the dressing).
- Divide the noodles among four bowls. Drizzle the dressing over the noodles (use all of the dressing, as the noodles will soak it up). Top with the corn, watercress, tomatoes, avocados and cucumbers. Toss before eating.

Steps:
- To poach the chicken breast, combine 1 quart water with 1 quartered onion, 4 thick slices of ginger, 2 crushed whole garlic cloves and salt to taste in a 2-quart saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts, and bring back to a simmer. Skim off any foam that rises. Cover partially, reduce the heat to low and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (it should register 160 on a meat thermometer at the thickest section). Allow the chicken to cool in the broth if there is time. Remove the chicken from the broth when cool enough to handle. Remove and discard the skin. Remove from the bone and shred, pulling strips of chicken off the top of the breast. Pull with the grain and the meat will come apart naturally. Strain the chicken broth, and refrigerate overnight. The next morning, skim off and discard the fat, and freeze the broth in smaller containers or freezer bags.
- Cook the noodles. Drain, rinse with cold water and drain well. Toss in a bowl with 1 tablespoon sesame oil and refrigerate while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, add salt if desired and add the bok choy. Blanch for 1 minute and transfer to a bowl of cold water. Drain and squeeze out excess water. Slice crosswise and add to the noodles. Add the remaining ingredients. Season if desired with salt and pepper.
- Whisk together all of the ingredients for the dressing. Toss with the salad and serve, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
