    Very good! Really liked the different taste from our usual menus. Added frozen stir fry veggies to help stretch the meal out a bit. Thumbs up from my husband - 1/28/09

    This is deliious - as good as some restaurants. Next time I will use 1/2 of the soy sauce - even with lo-sodium soy sauce still too much sodium for someone with high blood pressure. Loved the flavor! - 4/16/08

    Very good and very easy to make. Lots of flavor. I eliminated the onion and added carrots, green pepper and bean sprouts to up the veggies. This is a great recipe to take to work for lunch as it's good either hot or cold. - 4/21/09

    I made this tonight, but did not put chicken in it. It was a side dish with pork chops. I also shredded carrot in it, in place of onion since my husband doesn't care for onion. - 1/30/09

    This was a great-tasting and quick meal. I added some white onion sauteed in a tiny bit of sesame oil and a splash of fish sauce, shredded carrots, and julienned cucumber (added separately in the tracker) to bulk up the servings to a generous meal size for 4, and it was great. - 4/13/11

    Wow. What a tasty dish. The next time I make it I am going to add a bit more heat (fresh chili sauce) because I like it a bit more spicy. - 2/27/10

    This dish must be good, but it has way too much sodium and cutting down the soy is the way to make this more healthful. - 4/3/09

    Yummy - I tripled the recipe for a party of 40 folks. Used it as a side dish and therefore omitted the chicken. Got rave reviews. Why did I shop for anything at Costco?! Everyone loved the SparkRecipes more :) - 1/13/09

    I made this last night and I loved it!!! Great flavor and works well as leftovers for the next day. I added more crushed red pepper (I like it spicy). I also used chicken broth instead of veggie broth. I added some slaw mix to it and that added more veggies to my daily count. - 1/21/09

    No a big Thai food fan, but this was excellent. Husband loved it, he added extra crushed red peppers to his plate, he loves a little extra heat. He's looking forward to the leftovers for lunch. Will make again for sure. - 8/25/09

    I made this for supper tonight & everyone enjoyed it! I used cubed firm tofu instead of chicken, added a little extra lime juice & I used ginger powder instead of fresh ginger. Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. I like the idea of about adding extra veggies ~ I may try that next time. - 7/6/09

    INCREDIBLE! I made this as a side dish, so I left out the chicken and paired it with the Thai Chicken Wraps (also AMAZING) as the main dish. My husband was singing my praises all night :) Will definitely be making again and again!

    This was so good!!! One of my friends is allergic to peanuts so when I made hers I used SUNBUTTER, tastes like peanut butter but is made from sunflower seeds.
    So Tasty my girlfriends loved it when I served it at our brunch!!! And my family loved it as well.

    Extremely flavorful! I left out the hot pepper, and tripled the garlic. Next time, I may add some shredded romaine, or carrots, to add bulk and fiber. - 7/20/08

    The whole family thought this was great. In fact, we're having it again tonight. It lends itself well to many vegetables and the spicyness can be adjusted to your family's tastes. I will probably add more nuts or seeds to give it additional crunch. Terrific for a summer meal! - 4/9/08

    Made this for dinner as part of my Asian Buffet I make for DH and I. I omitted the chicken and made it vegetarian. Also, I did sub reg ww spaghetti for the vermacelli, which worked out great as well! This was fantastic and will be added to our Asian Buffet on a regular basis! - 4/6/08

    This was great! A good low-cal alternative to some of those pre-packaged thai noodle mixes. Definitely be sure to use the low-sodium products suggested otherwise I think this would be too salty. - 11/4/07
