  1. I had made this for our annual 4th of July party and got wonderful reviews. I also made this for a BBQ and got even more compliments! I added yellow and red peppers and carrots but also green onion and bean sprouts. You could add leftover cooked chicken to make it a main dish for Asian style dinner. I like making it on day one but eating it on day two....yummy!
     
  2. These noodles were soooo yummy! I cheated a little...I served them hot, because that's what the family requested. However, I did try the leftovers cold and they still tasted great! ;) I wanted to add more veggies to this, so I added a 1/4 cup cabbage and a 1/2 cup green bell pepper along with the red. I also cooked them for just a couple of minutes with some cooking spray before adding them, mostly because I added the cabbage. So yummy and very nutritious! Thanks! Made for ZWT4 - Los Jefes de la Cocina!
     
  3. Gave this recipe 5 stars. Very good dressing. It is really similar to another one I make, however the other one calls for hoisin sauce which I have a hard time finding in my local grocery store. So decided to give this one a try and was not disappointed one bit. A very good peanut noodle recipe using a lot less ingredients than other similar recipes. The one change I made was using garlic chili paste instead of the hot sauce. Oh and omitted the red bell pepper because hubby doesn't like it. Will make again.
     
  4. I made this recipe for lunch to take to school. Admittedly I did make a couple modifications, but it turned out great and I can't stop "taste-testing" it! I used soba noodles instead of spaghetti, and added a lot of veggies--you definitely have to use more than is called for. I added some sliced cucumber and chopped cabbage, and increased the amount of carrot. I used about 1/2 tbsp of fresh ginger instead of the ground ginger. Once I tasted the sauce, I thought it was a little acidic for my taste, so I increased the peanut butter and added a little more brown sugar. It tastes awesome, and I can't wait to have it for lunch!
     
  5. This was absolutely delicious. We had a 4th of July BBQ and I made a double batch and it almost all went. Everyone loved it. My daughter had the rest for breakfast. I followed the recipe exactly - but used red pepper flakes. It was not a saucy dish but it had so much flavor I don't think it needed anymore sauce. We made it 2 days ahead and took it out about 2 hours before serving to come to room temperature. We were thinking about adding crushed peanuts next time. This will become a regular dish for our family. Thank you!
