 Toast sesame seeds in a small, dry skillet over medium heat, stirring


 constantly until seeds are golden, 3-4 minutes.


 


 Blanch fresh snow peas and corn in boiling water for 30 seconds, or thaw if


 frozen. Cook pasta, drain and cool. Poach chicken in simmering water in a


 covered skillet until chicken is just done, about 15 to 20 minutes. Don't


 overcook.


 


 To prepare sauce, add first 7 ingredients to a blender and process on high


 speed 1 minute. Add ground peanuts and process 1 minute more. In a cup,


 combine oils and drizzle into blender mixture while blending at low speed.


 


 In a large bowl combine blanched or thawed corn, cooked pasta, celery,


 cilantro and 3/4 of the sauce.  Chop chicken and arrange with snow peas


 over the pasta mixture. Top with remaining sauce and toasted sesame seeds.


 Serve chilled or at room temperature
