This is my favorite, old (from NY Times about 25 years ago) recipe for 'hacked chicken with noodles' -- the konjak noodles work very well with it (blanched and chilled.)
Virginia Lee’s Chicken & Cold Noodles with Spicy Sesame Sauce
Large Small
2 C. 1 C. Ingredient
3 Tbsp 1 Tbsp Sesame oil
½ Cup ¼ Cup Sesame paste (tahini)
6 Tbsp 3 Tbsp water
4 tsp 2 tsp hot chili oil/paste
6 Tbsp 3 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
½ Cup ¼ Cup peanut or corn oil*
4 Tbsp 2Tbsp minced garlic (to taste, but don’t leave it out!)
optional garnish 2-4 scallions, chopped
*Note: depending on the consistency of the sesame paste, you may or may not want to add more oil. You want the final product to be a thick gravy.
Mix everything (not scallions) in the blender or food processor until smooth. Serve with ‘hacked’ (shredded) chicken. Nice to sprinkle some chopped scallions over it.
Of course the original dish was served over cold noodles, too. If you can afford the extra carbs, go ahead. Otherwise, just the chicken is great, with some undressed salad on the side.
The carbcounters do not agree on either garlic or sesame paste. Based on what I can find, I’ve decided this:
1 T sesame paste = 1 carb
1 T garlic = 2 carb
So the whole recipe is (large=16) (small=8) carbs, and it you’ll probably only use 2-3 Tablespoons per serving, so that’s (large 10-12) (small 5-6) servings at roughly 1.5 carbs per serving.
