Dig into a simple end-of-summer pasta toss loaded with chicken, cucumbers, and peanuts. We use dried udon noodles; if using fresh noodles, you'll need about 11 ounces.
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: about 1 cup noodle mixture, 1 tablespoon onions, and 1 1/2 teaspoons peanuts)
Ingredients
8 ounces uncooked dried udon noodles
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons sambal oelek or chile paste with garlic
1/2 teaspoon bottled ground fresh ginger
2 cups shredded skinless, boneless rotisserie chicken breast
2 medium cucumbers, halved lengthwise and sliced
6 tablespoons chopped green onions
3 tablespoons chopped dry-roasted peanuts
Preparation
1. Cook noodles according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain and rinse under cold water; drain.
2. Combine rice vinegar and the next 5 ingredients (through ginger) in a large bowl, and stir with a whisk. Add noodles, chicken, and cucumbers to bowl; toss gently to coat. Top with green onions and peanuts.
Wine note: Floral, zippy white wines from Argentina, like the 2007 Alamos Torrontes ($10), pair incredibly well with Asian-inspired dishes. -Gary Vaynerchuck
