"I see lots of recipes for Peanut Noodles but I don't see this one. This is fron Rachael Ray magazine. As written, this makes more sauce than needed to suit my taste but I will post exactly as written in magazine and you can make up your own mind. My kids LOVE this."

This was a great sauce, but as mentioned, it makes a LOT. We had plenty for tonight and enough for another night's dinner to be frozen. I chopped a bunch of green onions and threw them in at the end of the cooking time. We just needed the color. Next time, I'll also add some julienned carrots to the noodles while they cook. I'm sure it's just us, but we found the flavor to be too mild. Next time, I'll double the curry paste, and maybe add some extra ginger and garlic. In all, it was a great addition and we enjoyed it! Thanks Happy Mom.

These were so good! I made this recipe exactly as written, but my curry paste is really hot, so next time I'll have to use less... This makes quite a lot of sauce, but it is really delicious, especially with chunky peanut butter, for extra crunch. Too hot for my son, not hot enough for DH, but just perfect for me! Definitely a keeper!
