Step by Step Method

Step 1

Mix 2 tablespoons soy sauce with teriyaki sauce, garlic, brown sugar and ginger until sugar has dissolved.

Step 2

Cut chicken thighs into strips and marinate in this blend [in the refrigerator] for 2 hours.

Step 3

When you are ready to cook, prepare the sesame noodles. First cook pasta according to directions on the box.

Step 4

Mix together the last 2 tablespoons of soy sauce with sesame oil and agave syrup.

Step 5

Drain noodles and rinse if desired. Try to get as much water off the pasta as possible.

Step 6

Pour the sesame/soy sauce over the pasta and toss well with sliced scallions. Set aside.

Step 7

Remove chicken from marinade and throw out whatever is left over. Heat a little oil in a pan over medium high.

Step 8

Add chicken in batches and sauté for about 10 minutes adding sesame oil to taste if desired.

Step 9

Divide pasta into four portions, and top equally with cooked sesame chicken.

Step 10

Garnish with about a half tablespoon of sesame seeds per dish.
