How to make sesame chicken and asparagus pasta:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook at a rolling boil until just tender. Drain; rinse under cold water. Drain again and set aside in a large mixing bowl. Place the garlic, vinegar, brown sugar, peanut butter and soy sauce in a food processor. Process for 1 minute. With the motor running, slowly add the sesame and hot chili oils through the feed tube and process until well blended.

Shred the chicken into 2-inch julienne and toss with the linguine. Add the sauce and toss to coat well. Cut the asparagus on the diagonal into 1-inch lengths. Blanch in a saucepan of boiling water for 1 minute. Drain; rinse under cold water and pat dry. Place the linguine and chicken in a large flat serving bowl and arrange the asparagus on top. Sprinkle with the scallions, cucumber and remaining 1 tablespoon sesame seed. Serve at room temperature. Makes 6 portions.
