Directions

  1. For dressing, combine broth, soy sauce, vegetable oil, hoisin sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, sugar, pepper flakes, salt and pepper in blender container. Blend for 1 to 2 min or possibly till as smooth as desired.
  2. Makes about 12 Tbsp.. Set aside.
  3. Shred the chicken into small bite-sized pcs. Transfer to a large serving bowl. Toss chicken with 2 Tbsp. of the dressing.
  4. Prepare the plums, bok choy and green onions. Add in to the salad bowl with the chicken. Add in 2 to 3 Tbsp. of the dressing; toss to coat.
  5. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta al dente. Drain, rinse with cool water, and drain well. Add in to the salad bowl. Toss to combine, adding a little dressing if needed to moisture.
  6. To serve: If you like, add in the rest of the dressing just before serving or possibly offer it as an extra. Transfer the pasta salad to large shallow bowls; sprinkle with sesame seed. Offer crisp low-fat chowmein noodles as an extra.
  7. REVIEW: The dressing was not as aromatic as expected, but the flavors were full and the after-taste pleasant. We changed the proportions: twice the pasta, half the chicken, half the greens.
  8. NOTES : Here today's lunch and Bob "really liked it.
  9. Liked the fruit. Flavor grew on him." I liked it too. We used about halfthe amount of dressing. I calculated the cals with the full portion. Theseare big portions.
