Sesame Noodles

Shared by popular request! ;) Great chilled as a side or main dish for Screen on the Green and other picnic-type occasions.

1 pound whole-wheat spaghetti
1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar or lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
1 bunch scallions, sliced, divided
4 cups snow peas
1-2 medium bell peppers, thinly sliced
1/2 cup toasted sesame seeds
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided (optional)
1 cup cubed cooked chicken (optional)

Bring a large pot of water to a boil with tiny splash of sesame oil. Cook spaghetti until just tender, 9 to 11 minutes or according to package directions. Drain; rinse under cold water.

Meanwhile, whisk soy sauce, sesame oil, canola oil, vinegar (or lime juice), crushed red pepper, 1/4 cup scallions and 2 tablespoons cilantro (if using). Add rest of ingredients; toss to coat.
