Sesame Noodle Salad

I love the taste of sesame oil, and a little bit really goes a long way.  This dish goes really well with grilled chicken breasts marinated in Newman's Own Light Sesame Ginger salad dressing and a side of sauteed spinach.  I don't like the taste of ginger but this marinade is really good.

Comments
 - This dish also works with soba noodles or spaghetti, but I think the angel hair really soaks in the flavors since it is so thin
 - I used sriracha in place of the hot chili oil.  I also added a few shakes of red pepper flakes.
 - I scaled waaaay back on the sugar because I really like the taste of vinegar.  Instead of 1/4 C. sugar I used 1 packet of Splenda.
 - I served this for a party once and used 1/3 yellow bell, 1/3 red bell and 1/3 green bell pepper to give the dish some color.
 - For a protein boost, add 1/2 C. of shelled edamame
