• 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring 2 liters of water to a boil in a large pot. Add a pinch of salt and cook the farfalle pasta according to package instructions, until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.

Season the boneless chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the dressing. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, red bell pepper, julienned carrot, cucumber, green onions, and cilantro.

Step 5

Pour the prepared dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 6

Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top for garnish.

Step 7

Chill the salad in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
