    Could probably reduce sauce or add extra pasta. Chicken took much longer to cook and was tough—consider using an alternate method to prepare.

    This is a pretty standard sesame chicken recipe though I enjoyed her tip about boiling the chicken in the pasta water. Won't make again.

    I really enjoyed this recipe. The technique for cooking the chicken was new to me as was boiling the pasta in the chicken water. I went al dente but mine needed a bit more time. This was 2 1/2 servings tops in my opinion. My daughter and I had it for lunch with a bit leftover. I agree that this would benefit from some additional veggies and would probably flesh it out to 3 servings.

    Had this for dinner with homemade egg rolls. None of us cared for it. I'm not sure this is a fault of the recipe - it may be that none of us particularly care for the strong taste of sesame. I liked the method of poaching the chicken as it was very moist though I needed closer to 20 minutes for my chicken to be cooked through. I wouldn't make this again.

    I liked the method of cooking the chicken breasts. Boil water, shut off heat, put in chicken breast. Put on pot lid and wait 15 minutes. Chicken was nice and tender. I see myself using this method often. I might increase the sauce next time because the noodles really soaked it in.

    This was very tasty. I might reduce the peanut oil a bit next time. With leftover chicken, this is quick to make. I added matchstick carrots, peas and asparagus to make it a complete meal.

    I made this tonight for dinner and was originally a bit concerned after tasting the sauce by itself - I've made tons of versions of sesame noodles and I'm picky about them. That said, I ended up really enjoying this version! I made the dish as is, but had to replace the chili oil with some sambal oolek and I decreased the peanut oil (it just seemed like too much...) I had to cook the chicken for a little bit longer than 15 minutes to get it all the way cooked, but that may be because it started off pretty cold (thawed from the freezer). Also, the noodles picked up lots of flavor from being cooked in the same water as the chicken - I will definitely use that trick again. Next time, I will use blanched snow peas - that sounds fantastic.

    I make this for 2 people as a hearty main dish. However, I reduce the oil to 2 Tbsp, so it isn't as heavy. I also add vegetables, such as sliced cucumbers, slivered carrots and red bell peppers, and blanched snap peas. If your cayenne pepper is quite spicy, you may not want to use the full amount. Very tasty.

    These noodles are delicious and effortless. I double the sauce quantity.
