Fresh Japanese-style noodles are sold in the refrigerated deli section of some supermarkets and at Asian markets. If unavailable, substitute bucatini or spaghetti.
Ingredients
12 ounces sugar snap peas, strings removed
1 8- to 9-ounce package fresh Japanese-style noodles (such as udon)
1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
2 grilled chicken breast halves, cut horizontally in half, then crosswise into thin strips
6 green onions, thinly sliced
1 cup Mango-Sesame Dressing
Toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Directions
Cook snap peas in boiling salted water until crisp-tender, 2 minutes. Transfer to bowl.
Return water to boil. Add noodles. Cook until tender but firm, 3 minutes (or as directed on package). Drain; rinse under cold water until cool. Transfer to large bowl. Toss noodles with sesame oil. Cut noodles with kitchen shears to shorten. Add peas, chicken, and green onions; toss with enough dressing to coat. Arrange salad on platter; top with toasted sesame seeds, if desired.
