    Sauteed boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into strips, sauteed those with thin slices of onions and garlic. Added a little water to get up those bits of goodness. Add 2 cups of spinach. Then added the peanut sauce. We really loved it! - 1/28/08

    I've made this with julienned vegetables (scallions a must!) and used PB2, reconstituted with water and low sodium tamari. I finely mince the ginger, too. I always opt for lower sodium and fat, hence my changes. - 1/23/08

    I made this last night for my lunch today. after reading the reviews of how rich the sauce was I made 1/3 of the sauce, watered it down a little and mixed it with 1/2 of the noodles. I had it cold with chopped celery, grated carrot and chicken breast. Very tasty and tangy. - 7/16/08

    I made this for hubby and I for dinner tonight. I put in a fraction of the red pepper flakes because hubby doesn't like spicy food. I also added 8 oz of boneless skinless chicken breast. We both thought this was very good, a definate keeper. - 6/11/08

    I loved this dish!!!! I made it last night and ate 1/4 of the container. Later that evening my husband finished the other 3/4 of it off for dinner, he really liked it also!!! I made it with tahini instead of peanut butter. - 6/21/07

    Delicious! I only added a little over 2 tbsp of PB, and it worked well. Also, I added cubed tofu to stretch the recipe a bit, and I liked that a lot - I'd recommend it. Lastly, I used Soba noodles, and I think that added a special touch.
    Thanks for sharing this recipe! - 8/13/09

    It was ok but we both thought it tasted too much of peanut butter and not enough of anything else. It got a bit better with more soy and salt and some lime. We mixed in some grilled chicken and broccoli. I was hoping for something more Thai and less American faux - 1/24/08

    This was fantastic - I didn't find the sauce too thick, I grated the ginger instead of chopping it, and I also used Angel hair pasta instead of spaghetti - we all loved it and will definitely make it again! - 7/15/07

    These are scrumptious and so tasty! So rich, in fact, I doubled the pasta, and used Barilla multi grain pasta, which is very high in protein and fiber. That makes it fewer calories per cup, and I just ate 1.5 cups as an entree, along with some homegrown cucumbers and tomatoes. - 7/25/09

    Great recipe and a wonderful base for add-ins like carrots, spring onions, even poached chicken. I make is often. I have added low-fat chicken broth instead of water though. Thanks for the recipe. - 6/21/07

    I added a bunch of vegetables and shrimp. I also used crunchy peanut butter and didn't use sesame seeds. Finally, I made the sauce with less peanut butter and oil, so it was a thinner, more light tasting sauce. Oh - and added juice from one lime. - 5/18/08

    When served warm this is nice on a bed of spicnach and mung bean sprouts. Cucumbers are great too especially when served cold. Since we like spice I add hot chili garlic paste - 8/28/07

    This has a wonderful flavor! It was a little thick, I'll add a little more moisture next time but great with grilled shrimp and snow peas. Can't wait to try it with chicken marinated in teriaki sauce. Oriental without the stirfry! - 3/25/07

    I love peanut sauces, so this was a delicious, easy snack. I eyeballed the sauce ingredients and it turned out great. I used powdered ginger (just a pinch for 1 serving), "hot" sesame oil instead of oil + red pepper, and honey roasted PB cause it's what I had on hand. Yummy! - 7/29/09

    I used hokkien or thai style noodles (not pasta), added some canned sliced tuna, and substituted 1 tsp of peanut butter for a teaspoon of hot water. Flavour much less overpowering and reduces the oil, too. - 11/21/07

    Like others have said, I found the sauce to be a bit thick and strong, but I remedied that by just adding a little more water. I also added tuna because I was a little low on protein for the day and that worked great. I used rice noodles. - 2/9/08

    This was delicious! My boyfriend requested that it be put into the regular dinner repertoire. I served it with grilled teriyaki pork chops, and it was a great combination, although I also would have liked a sweeter vegetable to round it all out. So easy to make, too! - 5/30/07

    Yummy! Make this all the time - I do sub PB2 for the peanut butter and use low sodium soy sauce, sometimes add cooked chicken or water chestnuts or whatever - always add sliced scallions! PB2 is the best for flavor and LOW calories. The whole wheat thin spaghetti really lends itself to this! - 6/6/09
