Instructions:

- Whisk the ingredients together until you have a smooth and well-blended sauce.
3. Cook the Noodles:
- While the chicken is baking, cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions.
- Drain and rinse the noodles under cold water to stop the cooking process and to prevent them from sticking together.
4. Combine Ingredients:
- Place the cooked and drained rice noodles into a large mixing bowl.

- Toss everything together until the noodles and chicken are evenly coated with the sauce.

7. Serve:
- Serve the cold sesame noodles with chicken garnished with extra scallions or sesame seeds if desired.

Tips:

- Ensure the chicken is fully cooked before mixing it with other ingredients. You can grill, bake, or poach the chicken based on your preference.

- To prevent the rice noodles from sticking together, rinse them with cold water after cooking and toss them with a little sesame oil.

- For a spicier kick, consider adding a teaspoon of chili flakes or a splash of sriracha to the sauce.

- Feel free to add vegetables such as julienned carrots, cucumbers, or bell peppers to give the dish extra crunch and freshness.
