FUNKY CHICKEN WITH SESAME NOODLES



Funky Chicken With Sesame Noodles image

This has to be one of the most amazing chicken dishes I have ever made or eaten. It's really scary to watch people just attack this dish and practically inhale it in one breath. Brush up on your Heimlich Maneuver, people do get a little over-enthusiastic over this. Prep time includes marinating time.

Time 3h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

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

Steps:

  • 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.

"I STOLE THE IDEA FROM MIRJ" SESAME NOODLES



I love Mirj's Funky Chicken with Sesame Noodles. I decided to use the noodles as my inspiration for this recipe. It's really similar but totally different. We liked it and I hope others will too! Cook time is the time it takes to make the pasta. *UPDATE* Since posting this, I tried adding about 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes and it turned out wonderfully so I decided to add it as a suggestion.

Time 18m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb angel hair pasta
1/2 cup toasted sesame oil
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup honey
3 cloves garlic, minced fine
4 green onions, sliced
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
1 lb stir fry vegetables, steamed (I used broccoli, carrots, water chestnuts and red peppers)

Steps:

  • In a large pot, cook your angel hair pasta until almost al dente; drain well, put in a bowl and set aside.
  • In a small tupperware container with a lid, mix sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic and sesame seeds.
  • Put the lid on the container and shake, shake, shake it like a polaroid picture.
  • Pour the sauce over the angel hair and toss well; the heat of the pasta will cook the garlic a bit so it won't be totally raw.
  • Mix in the green onions and stir fry veggies.
  • Serve.
