Thank you for this! I tried cooking it and it was really good. One thing to note though is that if you'd want to be spicy, you'll have to add more of the chilli garlic sauce and use more than just 1/4 teaspoon of it.<br/>I'll cook this again! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. Here's how my first Charlie Chan pasta went: http://ezpasta.blogspot.com/2011/07/how-to-make-yellow-cabs-charlie-chan.html

Tried this recipe for the first time but i made my own version of siu sauce and instead of peanuts I tried cashew nuts. Taste good! Had a great time with this recipe on this day.. my birthday!

Tried this it was great. Added more oyster sauce and more sesame oil and used agave sweetener. What I didn’t have was the char sit sauce. Can anyone tell me where to buy that? So I just used sriracha sauce instead still tasted great

Tweaked it with 2 tbsp peanut butter and still turned out great. It's so easy. It's now the choice pasta sauce for the family.

I followed the recipe but it seems it's still like not the one that I usually eat at yellow cab :( I'll try find out what's missing and make it same like yellow cab's.
