Very nice dish. I altered it a bit to my own taste. Thought the sauce was a bit strong so I added a little water, more lime juice and a tablespoon of sugar to balance out the saltiness of the soy sauce and PB. Tossed it with linguine and stir fry brocolli and red peppers. It is very good warm but I can't wait to have the cold leftovers tomorrow!

When I first tasted this it was too heavy on the peanut butter so I played with it a bit and added more lime. Perhaps your limes are bigger than the ones that I get. Once I had added enough lime it had a very nice flavor.
