Sesame Chicken Cucumber Noodle Salad Recipe

Just about everyone loves sesame noodle salad, including me. This delicious version improves on the traditional one because it uses a mixture of creamy peanut butter and sesame oil in place of the customary sesame paste. The resulting dish is lighter, not only because the noodles are more delicately coated with the dressing, but because there’s less of them in relation to the chicken and veggies. Drink with a bright, exotic-fruit Sauvignon Blanc, like a Mulderbosch from South Africa. Adapted from "Simply Ming One-Pot Meals" by Ming Tsai and Arthur Boehm.
