Teriyaki Chicken and Asian Noodle-y Salad

Dinner on the patio over the weekend. Grilled teriyaki chicken on top of an Asian noodle-y salad. Chicken: Marinate skinless, boneless breasts in teriyaki sauce with honey and garlic added - then grill. Salad: Cook linguine al dente and rinse in cold water. Slice Napa cabbage, carrots, red bell pepper. Toss together and add bean sprouts, noodles and cilantro. The dressing is soy sauce, red chili oil, sesame oil, minced garlic and brown sugar. All to taste.

Asian Noodle-y Salad

This is a quick all-in-one meal that's perfect for using up some fresh backyard produce. It's an Asian Noodle-y Salad. Any veggies sliced thin can be added. Pictured here is green and red cabbage, green bell peppers, bean sprouts and cilantro. I added baked chicken, sliced thin, and cooked linguine rinsed cold. Rice noodles can be used, too! The trick in pulling it all together is the dressing:

1 fresh jalapeno seeded and chopped
1/3 cup brown sugar
8 tablespoons of olive oil
6 tablespoons of soy sauce
2 tablespoon of sesame oil
3-4 minced cloves of garlic
Fresh lime juice to taste
Whisk together

Toss the salad ingredients with the dressing and that's it.
