- Set a large pot of water to boil and salt it. If your chicken is uncooked, poach it in water as it comes to a boil. It will cook in about 10 min.
- Meanwhile, peel cucumbers, cut in half lengthwise, and, using a spoon, scoop out seeds. Cut cucumber into shreds and set aside.
- When water comes to a boil, cook pasta till tender but not mushy. (If chicken is not done, you can still add in pasta; remove chicken when it is done.)
- While pasta is cooking, whisk together sesame oil and sesame paste, sugar, soy, ginger, vinegar, warm oil and pepper in a large bowl. Thin sauce with warm water, so it is about the consistency of heavy cream; you will need 1/4 to 1/2 c..
- Stir in cucumber. When pasta is done, drain it and run pasta (and chicken, if necessary) under cool water. Drain again. Shred chicken by hand.
- Toss noodles and chicken with sauce and cucumbers. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary, garnish and serve.
