Healthy Asian Chicken and Buckwheat Noodles
"This is my take on a healthy noodle bowl recipe. I saw a similar recipe once but changed it a bit to meet my family's taste bud requirements."

ingredients
- 8 ounces buckwheat noodles, cooked according to package instructions
- 1⁄2 cup scallion, finely chopped
- 1⁄2 cup edamame, shelled
- 1 cup shredded chicken
- 1⁄4 cup carrot, fine julienne
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons shoyu
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon chili sauce, with garlic
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
- 2 teaspoons black sesame seeds
directions
- Cook noodles according to package instructions. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water, drain, and rinse noodles with cold water. I normally DO NOT recommend rinsing pasta, but this one I do because I like to cool it down fast.
- In a large bowl, combine noodles, scallions, edamame, carrots, and chicken.
- In another bowl whisk together the cooking water, vinegar, shoyu, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, chili sauce, and honey.
- Pour dressing over noodles. Toss and sprinkle with cilantro and sesame seeds.
- Serve with additional chopped cilantro or scallions as a garnish if desired.

<p>I am a pretty good home cook and a Food Network junkie. Every time I host an event or create a new dish, my confidence grows....I'm always testing new ideas and sometimes (I'm a nerd) that dreams in food.</p>
<p>I was proud to have one of my recipes chosen as RecipeZaar's Recipe of the Day on 11/27/09 with my Turkey, Cranberry, & Pesto Sandwich. I also had the opportunity to cook at the Aetna Healthy Food Fight competition in Los Angeles last summer - talk about pressure!</p>
