Quantity | Ingredient | |
---|---|---|
½ | pounds | Spaghetti |
¼ | cup | Sesame oil |
¼ | cup | Tahini; (sesame seed paste) |
¼ | cup | Peanut butter; creamy, all-natural is best |
2 | tablespoons | Soy sauce |
2 | tablespoons | Water |
2 | tablespoons | Water |
1 | tablespoon | Apple cider vinegar or rice wine |
⅓ | cup | Chicken broth; salt free |
2 | Cloves garlic; minced | |
1 | teaspoon | Fresh ginger; minced |
3 | Whole scallions; trimmed/thin sliced | |
2 | cups | Chicken or beef; cooked and shredded |
1 | cup | Broccoli florets; cooked |
1 | tablespoon | Cilantro; chopped |
Directions
Mix 2 tablespoons water with soy sauce. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add teh spaghetti and cook until tender, 10 to 15 minutes (unless you use thin spaghetti, then 7 to 10 minutes). Drain the noodles and rinse them under cold running water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and place them in a bowl; toss with 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil. To prepare the dressing, whisk the tahini and peanut butter with the soy sauce mixture and the remaining 2 tablespoons of the water in a bowl. Whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons oil, and the vinegar and broth. Season with the garlic, ginger, and scallions. Toss the noodles with the dressing. Let sit for 1 hour. Just before serving, add the meat, broccoli, and cilantro to the noodles. Toss to combine.
NOTES : Chinese restaurants usually welcome children, so most are familiar with the oriental flavors like those in this side dish. If your child is under two years old, you may want to use a smaller shape like macaroni so that it will be easy for him to eat with his hands.
