Sesame Chicken Cucumber Noodle Salad

"This is a great recipe that is a hit at potlucks. This is my adaptation of an original recipe by Ming Tsai. The dressing is best made a day ahead, and is not included in the cooking time."

directions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk peanut butter, vinegar, sesame oil, sherry, soy sauce, sriracha and scallions together until smooth. Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours. (If it thickens up too much in the fridge, add a bit of water to bring it to the right consistency.).
  • After the dressing is done chilling in the fridge, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the rice noodles about 3 minutes, or until tender. (If your package has directions, follow those, but the rice noodles can quickly turn to mush if overcooked) Drain and rinse with cold water. Cut them into about 3-inch pieces and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add all your prepared veggies and chicken, then toss. Add in the cooked noodles, and gently combine. Pour the dressing over the top and stir to coat, using as much or little dressing as you'd like. Top with toasted sesame seeds and serve.

I'm a happily married mother of two and I own a jewelry and accessory business. My husband and I were vegan for six years, we now eat poultry and fish. My husband is a personal trainer and competitive bodybuilder, so it's very important that we eat healthy... too bad I have such a sweet-tooth!
