Sesame Chicken And Noodles

I have this recipe in my book with "good" written over the top. It has been a while since I made this dish and put it on the menu last week. I have no modifications noted, other than using fake chicken of course. After making this dish, and eating it, I am not sure if I agree with the good rating. It was not bad, but I did not eat the leftovers the next day. I'll post the recipe and leave it up to you - try or not?

I do have to admit I did make a few alterations this time around that may have led to the so-so result. First, I chose to use rice noodles, not traditional spaghetti. I also had regular peanut butter, not natural style. To make up for the added sweetener in the regular peanut butter, I did not add any brown sugar.

12 oz uncooked spaghetti

1/2 cup veggie broth

1/4 cup natural style peanut butter

2 TBS sesame seeds, divided

1 TBS brown sugar

2 TBS rice vinegar

2 TBS low sodium soy sauce

1 TBS lime juice

1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce (like Tabasco)

2 tsp olive oil

1 pkg fake chicken, cut into cubes

2 cups chopped carrots

1 cup sliced green onions

1. Cook pasta, drain.

2. Combine broth, peanut butter, 1 TBS sesame seeds, and next 5 ingredients.

3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over med-high heat. Add chicken to pan and saute 3 minutes. Add carrots and onions, saute another couple minutes. Stir in broth mixture.

4. Add pasta to pan, tossing to coat. Top with remaining sesame seeds.
