- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup tahini (sesame paste)

- 1 pound spaghetti
- 1 cup red bell pepper, julienned

1. Remove the skin from the chicken and pull the chicken from the bones. Chop meat into small pieces, and set aside.
2. Place the garlic and ginger in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add the vegetable oil, tahini, peanut butter, soy sauce, sherry, sherry vinegar, honey, optional sriracha, sesame oil, cayenne and black pepper. Puree the sauce.
3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and cook the spaghetti al dente. Drain the pasta in a colander, place it in a large bowl, and while still warm, toss with the chicken and 3/4 of the sauce. Add the red and yellow bell peppers and scallions; toss well. Serve warm or at room temperature. The remaining sauce may be added, as needed, to moisten the pasta.
