1teaspoonfresh ginger, chopped, or 1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
2cupschicken(shredded rotisserie chicken or sliced grilled chicken)

Peanut salad dressing:
In a medium bowl, combine and whisk together all dressing ingredients, except for 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds.
Salad:
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the sugar snap peas, and cook for about 5 minutes, until peas are crisp tender. Drain, rinse under very cold water (to stop cooking), drain again and set aside.
Combine all salad ingredients in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad, just enough to coat (you don't have to use all of the dressing, unless you want to). Sprinkle the salad with the remaining tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds.
Serve the salad in the individual serving bowls and top with the sliced chicken.
