Ingredients

Spicy Sesame Noodle Salad

  • 4 oz Lo mein noodles
  • 2 TBSP Vegetable oil
  • 8 oz Chicken breast boneless skinless sliced thin
  • 2 TBSP Tahini paste
  • 2 TBSP Reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 TBSP Rice wine vinegar
  • 1 TBSP Honey
  • 1 TBSP Chili garlic sauce to taste
  • 1 tsp Fresh ginger grated
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 cups Bok choy thinly sliced
  • 2 Radish thinly sliced
  • 2 Red chili pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 cup Mung bean sprouts
  • ¼ cup Almonds sliced and toasted
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • ½ Lime cut into wedges

Iced Matcha Latte

  • ½ cup Water
  • ½ cup Sugar
  • 2 cups Ice cubes
  • 1 ½ cups Milk
  • 3 tsp Matcha green tea powder
  • 4 TBSP Hot water (175ºF / 80ºC)

Instructions

  • Cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
  • In a pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken breast and sauté until nicely browned. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the tahini, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, honey, chili garlic sauce, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the sesame sauce.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the pan and add the prepared sesame sauce. Stir well to coat the chicken. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes, ensuring the chicken remains at 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat.
  • Toss the cooked and cooled noodles into the pan with the chicken and sauce. Mix until the noodles are evenly coated.
  • Stir in the sliced bok choy, radishes, red chilis, and mung bean sprouts. Combine everything well until evenly mixed.
  • To make the Iced Matcha Latte: In a tall glass, add the ice cubes and milk. Sweeten with simple syrup (combine ½ cup water and ½ cup sugar, then stir until dissolved). In a separate bowl, whisk the matcha powder with 4 TBSP hot water at 175ºF (80ºC) until smooth and frothy. Pour the matcha mixture into the glass and stir well.
  • Sprinkle toasted almonds over the noodle salad. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and a squeeze of lime. Serve with the Iced Matcha Latte on the side.
