Instructions: Blend Spicy Pesto ingredients to a paste in a food processor or a blender.

Whisk together the Rice Wine Dressing ingredients.

Snap ends of snow peas, remove strings, and slice lengthwise in half.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the snow peas and blanch for 10 seconds. Drain, refresh in cold water and drain again. Blot dry with paper towels.

Cook the soba noodles until just tender, rinse under cold water, and drain.

Cut chicken breasts into thin strips.

In a bowl, toss together the noodles and the Spicy Pesto. Arrange the noodles on a platter and arrange the snow peas, chicken, and scallions in concentric circles on top, with the Dressing on the side or sprinkle the Dressing on top and toss lightly.

Makes 6 servings.
