Chinese Cold Sesame Noodles

I'm on a Chinese food kick lately, and decided that I felt like having a noodle bowl type of experience for dinner. This was pretty quick and easy.

Need:
spaghetti noodles
salt
shredded chicken
sliced celery
sliced carrots
sliced onions
chopped garlic
grated ginger
peanut butter
soy sauce
sesame oil
red wine vinegar
Sriracha hot sauce
pepper
toasted sesame seeds or peanuts (or both!)



 

Start boiling pasta in salted water.

 

I started shredding the carrots on my mandolin and then shredded my hand (facepalm) so the rest got chopped by hand.

 

Shredded chicken

 

In a bowl: peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, pepper, garlic, ginger, and Sriracha. Whisk it together until smooth.

 

I lightly stir fried the veggies and the chicken, but kept them pretty crunchy. When the pasta is done, strain it and rinse it well with cold water. Then add to the stir fry and add sauce. Stir to coat. Add toasted sesame seeds and/or peanuts to garnish.

 

Know that this got slathered in even more hot sauce after the picture was taken. My noodles were red. Don't judge.
