Cooking Instructions
PREPARATION Cut scallion into 3-inch lengths Julienne cucumber Coarsely chop roasted peanuts Finely chop scallion Chop cilantro Finely mince garlic DIRECTIONS Poach the chicken breast. Fill a small pot with enough water to submerge the chicken breast (but don't add the chicken yet), and add the ginger and scallion. When the water comes to a boil, add the chicken, and bring to a boil again. Immediately cover the pot, shut off the heat, and let the chicken sit in the water for 22-25 minutes. In the meantime, prepare the rest of the ingredients. Prepare the sauce by combining all the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Drain and shred the chicken. Cook your choice of noodle by following the package instructions. Remember, no one likes soggy overcooked noodles, so keep an eye on them or set a timer! Drain the noodles and rinse thoroughly under cold water. If you're not ready to eat them right away, mix in about 1-2 tsps of oil to prevent the noodles from sticking together. Assemble the noodles by mixing the following together: noodles, shredded chicken, julienned cucumber, bean sprouts, chopped peanuts, scallion and cilantro. Pour the sauce over everything and toss together.
