Mix the sauce ingredients and set aside. Start the pasta. Stir fry the chopped garlic clove and chicken breast in the peanut oil, adding the pepper when about half way done. When the chicken is done, add the sauce mixture, continue the stir fry for 2 minutes, then add the green onion and optional cilantro, and stir fry until the green onion cooks down. If a thicker sauce is desired, mix the corn starch and water, add to the sauce and cook down to the desired consistency. When the pasta is done, drain the pasta, add some peanut oil to the pasta and mix to coat. Then toss the pasta with the sauce and chicken.
