My Go-To Noodle Dish

We have a favorite pasta dish that I make at least every 3 weeks that is d-e-licious!

    Chinese Chicken & Noodles
Dressing:
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp. honey
1 tsp. Oriental sesame oil
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh ginger (or 1 tsp. ground)
2 tsp. finely chopped garlic
2 Tbsp. coarsely chopped green onions
-------
1 lb. linguine/thin spaghetti (I use penne rigate)
2 cup cooked julienned chicken
1 (8 oz.) can sliced water chestnuts
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
1 bunch broccoli florets
2 tsp. sesame seeds, toasted

Combine dressing ingredients - set aside.
Cook pasta according to package directions - drain, rinse under cold water, set aside.
Cook the onions & broccoli in oil for 5-8 minutes - add chestnuts & chicken, heat thru.
Add pasta & dressing - heat. Add sesame seeds, toss & serve.
*Can also be served as a cold salad - refrigerate up to 4 hours for flavors to enhance.

 

I usually cook the chicken on the side, sometimes add the water chestnuts - you can really make this recipe "your own" by adding what your family likes!
