garlic-marinated chicken / snow pea, snake bean & sesame noodle salad

Contents of your meal kit:
chicken breast
garlic-pepper paste
cherry tomatoes
snow peas
snake beans
thin noodles
orange soy glaze
sliced scallion
sesame seeds

Equipment needed: stockpot, colander, medium or large mixing bowl, medium or large nonstick skillet

Finishing steps:

  1. Fill a large stockpot with water, cover and bring to a boil.
  2. Meanwhile, coat the chicken with garlic-pepper paste, and set aside to marinate.   Slice cherry tomatoes in half, and slice snow peas lengthwise into thin pieces. Cut snake beans in ½ and then in ½ again.
  3. When water is boiling, add noodles and snake beans to the stockpot and give everything a good stir. Cook 2-3 minutes or until pasta is al dente.
  4. Drain immediately, and rinse with cold water. (You could place on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.)
  5. When the excess water has drained from noodles and snake beans, place in a mixing bowl along with tomatoes and snow peas. Toss with half of the orange soy glaze.
  6. Heat a small amount of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for 3-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Add the remaining orange soy glaze and sliced scallion to the skillet and turn off heat. Turn chicken to coat with glaze, then slice.
  7. Divide noodles between plates and top with sliced garlic marinated chicken. Drizzle the reduced glaze from the pan over the top of the plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Enjoy!
