Ingredients

  • 1/3 450-g pkg rice-stick noodles

  • 200 g snow peas

  • 2 tbsp grated ginger

  • 1 tbsp dark sesame oil

  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar

  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

  • generous pinches salt

  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil

  • 2-Jan English cucumber

  • 6 small radishes

  • 1 ripe mango, peeled

  • 1 cup coarsely chopped cilantro

  • 4 thin turkey or chicken cutlets

  • generous pinches of pepper

  • sesame seeds, optional

Instructions

  • Cook noodles following package directions, from 2 to 3 min. Or soak noodles by separating and placing in a large bowl. Cover completely with boiling water. Let stand until tender, 5 to 10 min. Stir frequently. Add snow peas for the last 2 min of cooking or soaking.

  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk vinegar with ginger, sesame oil, sugar, Dijon and pinches of salt. Slowly whisk in 2 tbsp (30 mL) vegetable oil.

  • Cut cucumber in half lengthwise, then thinly slice into half moons. Slice radishes into thin rounds and mango into bite-sized strips. Prepare cilantro. Combine all in a large bowl. Drain noodles and peas and add. Drizzle with ¾ of the dressing and toss to coat.

  • Heat remaining 1 tbsp (15 mL) oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Sprinkle chicken with pinches of salt and pepper. Sauté until light golden and springy when pressed, 3 to 4 min per side. Remove to a cutting board and slice into thick strips. Place noodle mixture on plates. Lay chicken on top. Drizzle chicken with remaining dressing. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
