Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces linguine
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons rice wine (you can sub in sherry if you need to)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- Sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 cups thinly sliced Napa cabbage
- 6 scallions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Put chicken in a mixing bowl with the ginger, 1 tablespoon rice wine, cornstarch, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and a pinch each of salt and pepper.
- Cook linguine according to package directions. Drain under cold water, dump back in the pot and toss with the sesame oil.
- Heat a heavy deep skillet (or a wok if you have one!) over high heat. Add the canola oil and the red pepper, give it all a stir and then add the chicken mixture, trying for a single layer as best you can. Let it sear for a minute without stirring it, then toss the chicken with tongs until it is cooked through, about another 2 minutes.
- Add the cabbage and toss for another minute or two until it starts to wilt. Add the noodles, the remaining wine and soy sauce and the scallions and toss until heated through. Taste and add more salt if needed.
- Divide among plates, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve, and try not to bite the noodles!
