We greatly enjoyed this recipe, but I did make a few changes based on our preferences and what I had on hand. I didn't use the red pepper or the crushed red pepper flakes, neither my daughter or I like things that spicy and she prefers raw to cooked peppers. I also did no have chopped peanuts on hand (but I did use extra crunchy peanut butter instead), or lime wedges. As I said the family greatly enjoyed this but we'll double the amount of sauce next time. (For our preferences as I served it over rice and more sauce would have flavored the rice better.
