Sunday Brunch: Eric Himan's chicken sesame noodle salad

TULSA - Eric Himan gives chicken and angel hair pasta a delicious Asian twist.

Ingredients:

• 1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
• 1/2 cup sesame oil
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 2 cups steamed vegetables
• 1-chicken breast (cooked and chopped)

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.  Once the water is boiling, stir in the angel hair pasta and return to a boil.  Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through but is still firm.  Drain well in a colander.

Mix the sesame oil and soy sauce in a bowl. Toss in the warm  pasta. Add the steamed vegetables (e. g. carrots, water chestnuts broccoli) and chicken.  Sprinkle with sesame seeds. 

Serve warm, or cover and refrigerate for a cold salad.
