This is an excellent sandwich. I left off the radish sprouts and added more red pepper flakes because I like it a little spicer. I would also suggest to double or even triple the sauce because thats what makes it soo good. I will be making this again. Thanks Missus Jones!

Absolutely fantastic meal!! The sweet peanut sauce with the spicy chicken and the crunch of broccoli slaw was perfection. Left off the sprouts because we didn't have them. Easy and delicious. Thanks for posting.
