Recipe makes for 4-6 Servings

2 boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips

12 oz dried wheat noodles

3-4 tsp sesame seeds

vegetable oil

1-inch fresh ginger, grated or finely-chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 red bell pepper

5-8 mushrooms

1-2 green onions

handful fresh basil

lime wedges

MARINADE:

3 tbsp soy sauce

2 tbsp sesame oil

1 tbsp rice vinegar

3/4 tsp sugar

SAUCE:

1/4 cup freshly-squeezed lime juice

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 tbsp fish sauce

1/2 tsp shrimp paste

2-3 tsp sugar, to taste

1 fresh red chili, minced or 1/2 tsp dried crushed chili flakes

Directions:

Stir together the marinade ingredients and pour over chicken strips in a bowl. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator while preparing other ingredients.

Stir together all sauce ingredients with a fork or whisk in a small bowl until shrimp paste and sugar dissolve; set aside.

Boil noodles until ‘al dente’. Rinse thoroughly with cold water to keep from sticking and set aside.

Place sesame seeds in a dry frying pan over medium heat. Stir until seeds turn light golden brown. Transfer to a bowl to cool.

Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium heat and drizzle 1-2 tbsp oil into a pan. Add the ginger and garlic. Stir-fry for 1 minute, then add the chicken including the marinade. Stir-fry for 3 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

Add the red pepper and mushrooms, stir-fry for 1 minute until mushrooms are cooked.

Add noodles then pour in the sauce. Stir-fry for another 1 minute using a tossing motion.

Remove from heat, sprinkle two-thirds of the toasted sesame seeds on the noodles and toss again, seasoning with salt and spice. 

Put noodles on individual serving plates, adding a final sprinkling of sesame seeds to each portion. Top with greens of green onion, fresh basil and lime wedges.
