A rather tasty, yet easily prepared dish. If it has any downside it is probably that, as it involves pasta, it does not keep very well as a leftover.

You'll need:

enough chicken to make the eaters happy in about 2 to 3 inch pieces*
enough uncooked long noodles to fill them
your favorite barbeque sauce

*Optionally, substitute tofu chunks.


Soak the noodles in a bowl of cold water until they are soft. You might consider placing the water bowl in a larger container of ice, or in the refrigerator, if you really want to get the noodles chilled.

Saute the chicken, or, if you take the easy way out and buy your chicken pre-cooked, start to heat it up. Then pour on the barbeque sauce and heat until the air is filled with the tangy smell of barbequed chicken.

Toss some of the soft, chilled noodles in a serving bowl and top with the chicken and barbeque sauce. Cold and hot and done in about 10 minutes.
