Here is how you make Cold Sesame Noddles with Chicken:

1 First, make the shredded chicken. Boil 4 qts. of water. When the water reaches a boil, add the chicken and cook for about 20-25 minutes. 2 Pour out the water and allow the chicken to cool on a cutting board or in a bowl. 3 In a blender or small food processor, puree the tahini, peanut butter, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, and hot sauce until smooth, about 30 seconds. With the machine running, add hot water 1 tablespoon at a time until the sauce has the consistency of heavy cream, about 5 tablespoons; set the mixture aside (it can be left in the blender jar or food processor workbowl). If you wish, add the crushed red pepper for a little zing. (Start with 1/8 of a teaspoon and go from there.). 4 Bring 5 quarts water to a boil in a stockpot over high heat. While you wait for the water to boil, you can shred your chicken. 5 Using 2 forks, shred the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside. 6 Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook them according to the directions on the package (about 4 minutes for fresh and 10 minutes for dried pasta). 7 Drain the noodles, return them to the pot, then rinse them again with cold running tap water until they are cool to the touch; drain them again. 8 In a large bowl, toss the noodles with the sesame oil until evenly coated. Add the shredded chicken, scallions, carrot, green beans and sauce; toss to combine. Divide among individual bowls, sprinkle each bowl with bean sprouts and serve.Serving Size: 5 servingsNumber of Servings: 5Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user LENORA05.
