Sesame Chicken with Noodles

Sesame Chicken with Noodles is a recipe from an old friend Mrs Woo. She always used to say that the day begins in the kitchen and she was so right.  This noodle dish is so good and the marinade is so flavourful and aromatic it fill the home with a lovely scent. Adding the toasted sesame seeds gives the chicken breast a superb additional texture. Mrs Woo could make this dish in half the time but I have allowed an hour excluding marinade time. I use this as a main dish most of the time but when serving a group, it is a side dish. Enjoy.
