List of Ingredients




1/4 cup peanut oil (I substituted 1/4 cup applesauce)
2 Tablespoons Oriental sesame oil
1 small clove garlic, peeled and blanched
1 Tablespoon sugar
3 Tablespoons rice vinegar
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 Tablespoons sesame paste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon chili paste with soy bean, optional
2 cups poached chicken breast, torn into bite sized pieces
2 cups cooked elbow macaroni (I used 2 cups uncooked)
1 package (10 ounces) frozen petite green peas, thawed
2 scallions, green part only, thinly sliced
Chopped cilantro, optional

Recipe



In a food processor or blender, combine and puree the peanut and sesame oils, garlic, sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, peanut butter and sesame paste. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If you wish, stir in chili paste.

Right before serving toss the chicken, macaroni and peas with the sauce and garnish with scallions and cilantro.

Makes 4 servings
