Ingredients:

Serving

1/4 cup sesame seeds
16 oz bow tie pasta
1/4-1/2 cup vegetable oil (i use 1/4 cup but the recipe called for 1/2 cup)
1/3 cup light soy sauce
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
3 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
2 cups shredded cooked chicken breasts
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/3 cup chopped green onion

Directions:

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sesame seeds, and cook stirring frequently until lightly toasted. Remove from heat, and set aside.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain pasta, and rinse under cold water until cool. Transfer to a large bowl.
In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine vegetable oil, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, sesame seeds, ginger, and pepper. Shake well.
Pour sesame dressing over pasta, and toss to coat evenly. Gently mix in chicken, cilantro, and green onions.
