Ex invited us to a BBQ today...my son and I both: "if the Canucks are in a game 5...we can't make it".
Just finished making an Asian sesame pasta salad for the deal...looks like we're going!- Show previous comments 5 more

Here's the recipe:
1 (16 ounce) package bow tie pasta (I had none so this time I used spaghettini)
½ cup vegetable oil (I used less)
⅓ cup soy sauce (I only use Kikkoman)
⅓ cup rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2-3 tablespoons white sugar
Dash of chilli oil (I ran out so I used about a tbsp of sweet chili sauce I had...I've also used chili flake)
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cups shredded, cooked chicken breast meat
⅓ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 bunch chopped green onion
1 red bell pepper & 1/2 green pepper
1 grated carrot
Boil and drain the pasta...set aside. Lightly toast the sesame seeds...also set aside.
Mix the oil(s), soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, ginger, garlic and pepper together and let sit in fridge.
Chop veggies (I cut them into very small pieces and grate the carrot).
Mix the dressing into the pasta then stir in the veggies & chicken and chill for at least 2-3 hours before serving.
Top with toasted sesame seeds.
(You can omit the chicken for a vegetarian option)
