COLD CHINESE NOODLES WITH SPICY SESAME SAUCE

Steps:

• The Sesame Paste: Pour half of the sesame seeds into a large non-stick skillet. Toast over med-high heat, shaking and tossing the seeds constantly until they are a golden brown color. (Do not over-brown or they will be bitter.) Pour the toasted seeds out onto a paper plate or a piece of parchment paper. Toast remaining seeds the same way. Pour the seeds into a food processor (a mini-processor works best). Process seeds until finely ground. Remove and stir in the sesame oil to make a paste the consistency of stiff peanut butter. The Sauce: Process the sesame paste in a blender along with the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, honey, garlic, ginger, Chinese hot pepper oil, red pepper flakes, and salt. Blend until well-mixed and ginger is finely chopped. With blender running, slowly pour in the oil. The Noodles: Toss the noodles with cucumber strips and sauce. Refrigerate until chilled. Sprinkle with additional toasted sesame seeds and red pepper flakes just before serving. Serve chilled or at room temp.

SPICY SESAME NOODLES WITH CHICKEN AND PEANUTS

Steps:

• In a medium heatproof bowl, stir together the red-pepper flakes, soy sauce and sesame oil. Set next to the stovetop.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Meanwhile, in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium heat, cook the 1/2 cup oil, peanuts and orange rind, shaking the pan occasionally, until the peanuts are golden and bubbling, 3 to 5 minutes. Immediately pour the contents of the skillet over the red-pepper mixture (be careful of splattering!) and set aside.
• Meanwhile, in the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add the chicken and press it down with a wooden spoon into a thin layer. Season with salt and a generous amount of black pepper and cook, without stirring, occasionally pressing the layer of chicken down, until the bottom is browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Break the chicken up into small pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more.
• While the chicken cooks, cook the noodles according to package directions, until chewy but not soft. Drain and toss with a bit of sesame oil.
• Remove and discard the orange rind from the chile oil. Off the heat, add enough chile oil to coat the chicken and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Add the noodles and toss, adding more chile oil to fully coat the noodles and chicken. (If you don't use all of the chile oil, you can store it in the refrigerator for 2 weeks in an airtight container.) Top with chives and serve at once.
