Funky Chicken With Sesame Noodles

This has to be one of the most amazing chicken dishes I have ever made or eaten. It's really scary to watch people just attack this dish and practically inhale it in one breath. Brush up on your Heimlich Maneuver, people do get a little over-enthusiastic over this. Prep time includes marinating time.
Ingredients:

• 1 lb spaghettini (get the thinnest spaghetti you can find)
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup sesame oil (some reviewers have said that 1/2 cup of oil is too much and have halved the amount, so use your own)
• 1/3

cup sugar

3 scallions, thinly sliced

1/4 cup sesame seeds (or more)

Funky Chicken

• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce

1. First make the sesame noodles: Cook the spaghetti according to package directions.

4. Shake until well blended and the sugar has dissolved.
5. Pour this over the pasta.
6. Toss with scallions and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
7. Set aside while you marinate and then cook the chicken.
8. Funkying the chicken: In a bowl mix the soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, garlic, brown sugar and the ginger.
