Step 1: Cook noodles in a pot of boiling salted water until tender (under 5 minutes); drain, cut noodles in several places with scissors and then spread out on a platter.
Step 2: Puree next 7 ingredients (garlic - chili paste) in a blender and then with machine still running add the oil and blend until dressing is smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3: Combine chicken and the vegetables (cabbage - cucumbers) in a large bowl. Toss with enough dressing to coat.
Step 4: Arrange chicken/vegetable mixture on top of noodles, sprinkle with peanuts, if desired (we skipped the nuts) and serve, passing remaining dressing.
