I enjoyed these noodles best at room temperature. They are simple to make, yet delicious. I used spaghetti noodles and used the peanut butter. I did add just a little crushed garlic. The fresh scallions are the perfect thing to top these off. It's a nice versatile recipe...... you could add pretty much any vegetable you like, or just enjoy the simplicity of the recipe as it is. Thanx for posting!

I hate to give this recipe such a low rating since I see everyone else liked it, but I don't see what all the hype is about. The dish came out bland, really bland. I ended up throwing it away. Maybe it's because everyone else used peanut butter and I used tahini, or maybe because everyone else added additional ingredients. I don't know.

Wow! This is awesome! I accidentally messed it up, and it was still aweome! I can't wait to play with this one some more. I'll try adding a few things; I like the idea of the bean sprouts, but didn't have any tonight. The red bell peppers are great! I'll also try a few (thawed but uncooked) frozen baby peas or snow peas. I can even see that some pineapple chunks or other fruit would be a nice touch. EXCELLENT, Miss Erin! Thanks!
