    • Reviews

  • “Thanks for this recipe.It’s easy and tastes awesome.If you like your food a bit more spicy, this is good with some sweet hot chili sauce drizzled on top.You can find it bottled at your local Asian market.”

  • “I enjoyed these noodles best at room temperature.They are simple to make, yet delicious.I used spaghetti noodles and used the peanut butter. I did add just a little crushed garlic.The fresh scallions are the perfect thing to top these off.It’s a nice versatile recipe…… you could add pretty much any vegetable you like, or just enjoy the simplicity of the recipe as it is.Thanx for posting!”

  • “This was ok, but not at all what I was expecting.The sauce was very pasty and a little bland.I think if the tahini/peanut butter was cut back and maybe the oil increased, it would be what I’ve tasted in the past.”

  • “I hate to give this recipe such a low rating since I see everyone else liked it, but I don’t see what all the hype is about. The dish came out bland, really bland. I ended up throwing it away. Maybe it’s because everyone else used peanut butter and I used tahini, or maybe because everyone else added additional ingredients. I don’t know. “

  • “Wow! This is awesome! I accidentally messed it up, and it was still aweome! I can’t wait to play with this one some more. I’ll try adding a few things; I like the idea of the bean sprouts, but didn’t have any tonight. The red bell peppers are great! I’ll also try a few (thawed but uncooked) frozen baby peas or snow peas. I can even see that some pineapple chunks or other fruit would be a nice touch. EXCELLENT, Miss Erin! Thanks!”

  • “This is great! I made it for myself for dinner. When my boyfriend got home late, he wanted to have it for dinner. I figured it might be too light for him – more of a side dish – so, I added some cooked, diced chicken and some thin strips of red bell pepper. Absolutely excellent! I will be making this one over and over again. Thanks Erin!”

  • “When it gets to be 110°F in Phoenix, you start searching for simple meals. I made some substitutions using what was on hand(vermicelli, lite soy, peanut butter and tobasco). I added bean sprouts and frozen peas. It was so good that I didn’t bother making anything else. Next time, I wiil make more so I don’t have to bargin for the leftovers.”
