Chef's Tips

For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing. For more aromatic flavor, grate 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger into the dressing. You can also toast the sesame seeds lightly in a dry pan for a deeper nutty flavor.
↔

Easy Substitutions

Use rotisserie chicken for even quicker prep. Tofu or edamame can replace chicken for a vegetarian option. Any thin pasta, such as ramen noodles (without the seasoning packet), or even soba noodles can be used. For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce and gluten-free pasta.
