    Chicken & Sesame Noodles

    Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce
    1 Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce

    Remove the noodles from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the root ends of the bok choy; thinly slice crosswise. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then medium dice. Thoroughly wash your hands immediately after handling. In a bowl, whisk together the tahini, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, 4 tablespoons of water, and as much of the sambal oelek as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be.

    2 Cook the chicken & vegetables

    Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. In a large, high-sided pan (or pot), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the sliced bok choy and diced peppers; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the chicken is browned and cooked through.

    Meanwhile, using your hands, carefully separate the noodles. To the pan, add the noodles and sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until thoroughly combined and the noodles are heated through. Turn off the heat. Serve the finished noodles garnished with the sesame seeds. Enjoy!
