Ingredients

2 ts cilantro Chopped

2 ts Dark sesame oil

3 Green onions minced

1/2 c Red wine vinegar

1/2 c peanuts Dry-roasted

1/2 lb Dried Chinese egg noodles; tossed with a dash of vegetable oil

1 c Creamy peanut butter

1/4 c Honey

2 Fresh jalapeno peppers

1/2 c Soy sauce

2 Garlic

2 ts fresh ginger Peeled; chopped

1 c Sweet hot chile sauce

2 ts Curry powder toasted

1/2 c Dry sherry

1 tb olive oil

4 Chicken breast halves


Directions

To prepare the peanut sauce, combine the ginger, cilantro, garlic, jalapenos, vinegar, soy sauce, and peanut butter in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the curry powder honey, and sesame oil; process until smooth. Set aside. Meanwhile, in a very large saute pan, heat the oil over high heat until smoking hot. Put the chicken breasts in the pan and brown them well, about 2 minutes on each side. Decrease the heat to medium and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sherry, increase the heat to high, and cook until about half of the sherry remains, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chile sauce and turn the breasts to coat them well. Decrease the heat to low and slowly simmer while you prepare the noodles. Put the noodles in the pasta insert and set the pot of boiling water or in the stockpot and cook for about 2 minutes to heat through. Strain the cooked noodles and place in a large bowl. Toss them with 1/2 cup of the peanut sauce and place on a serving platter. Remove the chicken slices on the noodles and pour some of the remaining sauce over the top. Sprinkle with the roasted peanuts and scallions. Serve hot.
