What to Eat Wednesday

I got this recipe from our doula/turned into friend, Amanda, after we had Savanna. Amanda was there for our first 2 births, and supported me through Luke's pregnancy, and went to the hospital for a day of consulting and ultrasounds after we found out that Luke would be born with a cleft. She took notes asked questions, looked information up online, and told me that I probably did not want to read any of that right then, but when I was ready I would have the information. I have lost contact with her for some time now. But last month I heard her on NPR! I was so surprised to hear her voice. 

I was sure that I had blogged this one- but I just can't seem to find it.  Maybe I was never able to take the photos because we ate it all.  I made sure to snag a bowl first and get photos before eating this time.

I hardly ever have anything left over after making this. Jack begged to save some to take in his lunch cold. 
Chicken and Spicy Sesame Noodles

Sauce

9 green onions

1 1/2 cup chicken broth

1 1/2 TB ginger root peeled and minced

3/4 tsp red pepper flakes (a pinch of cayenne pepper makes it not so spicy)

3 1/2 TB vinegar (rice vinegar if you have it)

(2 TB sesame paste- I have never, ever, ever had this on hand- so it works fine without it)

4 cloves garlic

Other

1 pound spaghetti or angel hair pasta

2-3 TB oil

1 cucumber peeled and sliced

4 chicken breasts cooked and cubed

sesame seeds

In a skillet heat the oil on high and add all ingredients under sauce. Stir and cook together for 5 minutes. pour sauce over the pasta. Mix together and put in a serving dish. Garnish edges with cucumber. Place the cubed chicken in the center. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
