This dish could easily be made with shrimp or pork in place of
the chicken. Great as a main dish; or omit the chicken and serve as a side dish.
Ingredients
12 ounces (340g) linguine, uncooked
8 ounces (230g) boneless skinless chicken breasts, uncooked
1 Tbsp (15mL) teriyaki sauce
2 tsp (10mL) sesame oil, divided
2 tsp (5g) ginger root, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 tsp (1g) red pepper flakes (or hot chili oil)

vinegar and red pepper flakes; mix well and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove
