Preparation

Step 1

In a pot, boil 3 quarts of water. Add noodles and stir. Cook until tender, 5 minutes.In a large, shallow bowl, whisk the tamari, sesame oil, peanut butter, vinegar, 2 tablespoons water, ginger, and garlic.

Drain in a colander; run hot water over the noodles until the water runs clear. (If the noodles aren't washed, they'll be starchy and sticky.) Drain thoroughly again.

Add noodles to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Add chicken and green onions; toss again.

Garnish with sesame seeds, peanuts, and cilantro.
