Steps to make Cold Noodles with Shredded Chicken

1

Poach chicken

25

Fill a small saucepan with enough water to submerge the chicken breast (don’t add the chicken breast yet) and add 2 slices ginger and 1 chopped scallion and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the chicken, and return to a boil. When the water is at a boil again, immediately cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let the chicken sit for 22 to 25 minutes.

2

Cook noodles

Meanwhile, cook your choice of noodles following the package directions. Drain and rinse thoroughly under cold water. If not using right away, mix in 1 to 2 teaspoons of oil to prevent the noodles from sticking together.

3

Make sauce

2

In a bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons sugar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 4 cloves finely minced garlic, 4 tablespoons rice vinegar, 3 tablespoons light soy sauce, 2 – 3 teaspoons chili oil, and salt to taste.

4

Assemble
