     I would not call this spicy. I had to add Thai red curry paste and hot sauce and still the peanut butter was the dominant taste. I also added garlic and cut green beans. Next time I would add ginger and more curry paste. - 4/28/11

     This is a terrific recipe. However, the servings are small if you have it as your main dish. My wife and I weighed out 2 of the 7 servings each [300 calories] and with vegetables in bullion it was barely filling. The final 3 servings we split for lunch the following day with 1 1/2 servings each. - 1/10/14

     This dish is easy to make. I added several veggies; broccoli, sweet red peppers, snap peas, water chestnuts, and bamboo shoots. I should have increased the sauce because of all of the vegetables. Next time. My husband liked the rice noodles, but I might try rice next time. - 8/20/13

     Good, but not spicy enough and very small portions. And also: yikes for the sodium! - 4/13/21

     I don't like whole wheat noodles, they are too gummy, I made it with real noodles. The sesame seeds in the photo aren't in the recipe, they add calories but also a wonderful taste. - 4/25/20

     2tablespoons of peanut butter in this recipe do you taste it and it serves 7 that sounds like a starter to me - 7/4/13

     Easy to make. Peanut butter overpowered other flavors. Will definitely try again and tweek it to my taste. - 3/21/12

     This allows you to be very creative-- can use shrimp, venison, crawfish, crab, lobster, turkey-- just use a veggie broth or forget the meat-- use tofu or veggies alone! - 3/13/12

     This recipe was quick and delicious! I followed the recipe except that I add spicy garlic sauce instead of red pepper flakes (although I think I'll add both next time) and used rice noodles since that's what I had on hand. Thanks for submitting such a great and quick recipe. - 2/16/12

     First recipe to make from Spark. It was easy to make and I did find the Udon noodles so I used them. I also added brocolli and red peppers. I would make again. A lot of flavor for little calories. - 10/14/11

     I made this almost word for word according to the recipe (cuz I'm not a good cook or know what to substitute) and it was amazing! I may add veggies next time though, can't hurt :) - 9/23/11
  • CD9725500
     I added alot of stuff to it and used water instead of stock (because I didn't have it). I also used rice instead of pasta, but will definitely make again!! - 8/6/11
  • TRIGIRLJ
     I subbed tahini for the peanut butter since I am allergic and added a clove of garlic, some fresh grated ginger, carrot, and red and green bell pepper. - 3/22/11
