    sriracha is also known as "rooster sauce"(because is has a rooster on the bottle) and is a spicy red pepper sauce. You can substitute sweet chili paste, but we use half rooster sauce half sweet chili paste at our house. Also, be sure to add some fresh minced ginger! Also like it with udon noodles. - 1/11/11

    This one was great! I did not have the srirachan sauce so I used red pepper flakes to spice it up.I also added just a sprikle of chopped peanuts to the top to add crunch. I will do this again. Can't wait to have the leftovers for lunch this week! - 1/11/11

    I make these often. When I am in a hurry I use a bag of broccoli slaw and call it good. And I tend to add extra sriracha sauce. - 1/11/12

    I had to double the sauce recipe because I had no where near enough to even lightly coat everything and it was pretty boring. - 1/16/11

    This will work. Try it with cooked turkey or even lean ham.
    Note that there are two Sriracha sauces. I assume this recipe calls for the spicy. But if you've got kids, maybe try the sweet version. - 1/11/11

    Check the sodium content - FAST!! 2TBS soy sauce = 1805 mg sodium. Divided by 4 servings = 451 mg....for the soy sauce alone. - 1/12/11

    I wouldn't make this receipe, as I don't feel the info is accurate. Pix doesn't even resemble ingredients. Don't see the carrots or broccoli and the peanuts aren't listed as an ingredient so how can the calories be correct? When you look up the detailed calories, butter is listed. Where's that go? - 9/21/12

    My family loves this recipe. I have made it with chicken, pork and pot stickers (dumplings) and it is great with any of them. I can't belive I finally know how to make an Asian dish. - 7/6/11

    I loved this dish! Making it all in one pot made for easy clean-up. I used brown rice spagetti noodles and leftover beef from a roast. I left the sriracha out until the very end, after I had served the kids. I will definitely be making this again. - 1/12/11

    The picture looks inviting, but it isn't what's in the recipe? What is the leaf? Where is the broccoli? This looks more like something with green onions, rice noodles and peanut sauce. - 9/13/12

    I finally figured it out: whole wheat pasta needs the high end of the cooking time, or it will be yucky. Also, mix the sauce in a small bowl as it says; m.b. add some pasta sauce. I treid to save washing; dumped the sauce ingredients into the noodles and the pb did not melt as I thought it would. - 2/5/13

    I'm not a good cook but the recipe seemed pretty simple to follow but all I tasted was peanut butter, it was thick and pastey. It seemed like it needed something liquid so I added more soy sauce, it didn't help. I couldn't eat it. - 9/18/12

    I made this for 2 by reducing the pasta to 2 servings. I substituted snap peas for the broccoli & carrots, skipped the additional protein, but added dry roasted peanuts. I also reduced the sriracha sauce to 1/2 tsp but used the 1 tbs peanut butter and 1 tbs soy sauce. The result was yummy! - 9/9/12

    Its a great quick/cheap dish. I used silken tofu for the protein and I sauteed it before mixing it into the noodles so it wasn't so mushy. If I were to do it again (which I am) I would use firm/extra firm tofu instead. Otherwise, great recipe! - 7/7/12

    Sub 1 Tbsp tahini (sesame paste) in lieu of peanut butter. Tahini needs to be thinned with water anyways so you'll get more sauce for fewer calories. - 6/19/12
