Can you put this sauce over ramen noodles?
review by leanna G.

Only 3 routinely grace my dinner table, yet finding a recipe we all agree on is a challenge. As Mom and the sole vegetarian, I usually like what I've cooked and only one of the other 2 at the table agree. This sauce was awesome! All 3 of us agreed! Slight variation: The fresh ginger I thought I had, had gone bad, so I had to use ground. Still, it was delicious! The sauce tasted like what we might get in a restaurant, and it'll definitely be our go-to stir-fry sauce moving forward. Thank you for sharing!

Have not made it BUT I WANT TO! This looks like the sauce they used at a little hole in the wall BEST Chinese restaurant that was on 18th St and Irving Place in the 80s- always packed - Sechuan Cuisine Inc - they made Cold noodles with Sesame Sauce that were UNREAL - could never get enough - then one day, they were gone! Closed for back taxes or something NEVER FOUND GOOD COLD NOODLES AGAIN! Those peanut butter things bear NO resemblance - WILL TRY THIS SOON !!

Most likely would be better with meatballs than with eyeballs.
