Directions: |
Directions:In a small bowl combine juice, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic sesame oil, and chili paste, stirring vigorously to mix well. Then place chicken strips and ¼ cup marinade in a large plastic food bag, turning to coat. Marinate chicken in refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours. Reserve remaining marinade for dressing.
Cook spaghetti according to package directions; drain and place in large serving bowl. Add reserved marinade and toss; set aside. Heat 1 tsp oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add carrots, bell pepper, and green onions; stir fry 1 to 2 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove from skillet; add to noodles. Set aside to cool. (We just add it to the big bowl of noodles)
Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Heat 1 tsp oil in same skillet until hot. Add the chicken; stir fry 1 to 2 minutes or until done. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Add chicken to noodle mixture. Top with peanuts.
Other meat such as pork or beef could be substituted for chicken, if desired.

Notes: This is a different recipe, and one of our favorites. Makes 4 very generous servings, and is very good leftover the next day for lunch. Editor's Note: This is titled "salad", but is very much a main dish.
