Funky Chicken With Sesame Noodles

Funky Chicken With Sesame Noodles

INGREDIENTS

SESAME NOODLES
1lb spaghettini (get the thinnest spaghetti you can find)
¹⁄₂cup soy sauce
¹⁄₄cup sesame oil (some reviewers have said that 1/2 cup of oil is too much and have halved the amount, so use your own)
¹⁄₃cup sugar
3scallions, thinly sliced
¹⁄₄cup sesame seeds (or more)
FUNKY CHICKEN
¹⁄₄cup soy sauce
¹⁄₄cup teriyaki sauce
2garlic cloves, minced
¹⁄₄cup brown sugar
1teaspoon fresh ginger, chopped (or 1/4 teaspoon dried)
4boneless skinless chicken breasts
sesame oil, for sauteing

DIRECTIONS

First make the sesame noodles: Cook the spaghetti according to package directions.
Drain (I also rinse).
In a jar, add the soy sauce, sesame oil and the sugar.
Shake until well blended and the sugar has dissolved.
Pour this over the pasta.
Toss with scallions and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
Set aside while you marinate and then cook the chicken.
Funkying the chicken: In a bowl mix the soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, garlic, brown sugar and the ginger.
Make sure the sugar has pretty much dissolved.
Add the chicken, making sure it’s all coated with the sauce.
Cover and stick in the fridge for 2-3 hours.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, and toss out the marinade left at the bottom of the bowl.
Heat the sesame oil in a large non-stick pan.
Add the chicken in batches and saute for about 10 minutes, or until done, adding more sesame oil as needed.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let cool slightly.
Slice the chicken diagonally into thin strips.
Serve the chicken over the sesame noodles.
Stand back and watch your guests/children/loved ones inhale this dish.
