"Great dipping sauce or on top of noodles. Don't always have to cook this, however I think a little heat enhances the flavors."

Wow! Talk about quick and easy AND tasty! I had some leftover cooked chicken and some buckwheat noodles, so I thought peanut sauce would be good. This recipe was perfect. Will be making this often. I used some sambal oelek sauce for the "heat" and some frozen chopped cilantro, which I stirred in while cooking. I also added extra coconut milk.
