💡 Cook's Notes
If you prefer, you can substitute 12 ounces dried spaghetti for the Asian noodles. Rinsing the cooked noodles well eliminates lots of starch, which can turn the cold pasta gummy. Tossing the pasta with the sauce directly after rinsing keeps the pasta moist. Grilling the chicken over high heat lets it cook through before drying out. If traditional Asian sesame paste is hard to find, a combination of peanut butter and sesame oil makes an excellent substitute.
