    Made a few changes to suit my ingredients. Only had natural peanut butter so I reduced the amount to 1/4 cup (which makes it almost the same number of fat and calories). I also added green onions and red pepper which added some nice colour. Great recipe! My guests raved! - 1/7/10

    I can honestly say that this is the best Thai food I have ever made! The only change I made (and that I would suggest to those who like the combination!) was to add the zest of one lime to the chopped cilantro, then to squirt a little lime juice on each serving. Excellent! - 3/5/13

    Absolutely delicious! I took the advice and cut back on the spices a little and used chicken tenders. I also cooked on the stove instead, the final results were similar to spicy chicken wing dings. Will definitely make this again. - 4/28/08

    This is really, really good, as suggested by another reviewer I served it with red cabbage, the crunch complimented the chicken and the spice. Served with rice and green beans, cashews instead of peanuts. Threw all the leftovers in the pot and stuck it in the fridge and can't wait to eat it cold! - 5/25/14

    I made this tonight for dinner & I liked it, but boy, was it spicy! I will make it again, but cut the chili paste down to 1/4 c. & increase the sweet chili sauce to 3/4 c. Very flavorful & satisfying over basmati rice & served w/steamed broccoli! - 8/20/13

    This was amazing! I used chunky peanut butter instead of adding peanuts. I also used hot chili sauce because I couldn't find chili paste. Put over jasmine rice & ate with zucchini. Will def make again! - 4/7/13

    I wasn't able to find the oelik, so I used chili sauce from right next to the Thai sweet chili sauce. Made it for book club tonight and it was a HUGE hit! Thank you so much for sharing! - 7/23/09

    Unfortunately, this has double my daily sodium need. It sounds so good, though.. - 10/15/20

    I do a stir fry sauce with pb2 & thai chili sauce similar to this. It's good on spaghetti squash instead of noodles too. Sambal oleck or mariachi are too lively for me. A molten lava sauce! :-) - 10/2/20
