Made this last night…it was great! The only alteration I made was adding a little over a teaspoon of fresh minced ginger. This version will be added to my favorites!

I am going to try this right now! Except my husband hates sesame oil so I’ll be using a lot less (I might put more back in for my portion though).

I can’t wait to try sauce, since I’am a peanut butter lover and have been searching for this kind of sauce. After reading the comments I will be making it tonight. Thank You!! and Mom too!!

Veronica, my mom says that she thinks spaghetti is the closest and best representation of the noodles. I’ve never had anything similar while in Asia so I don’t know.

I’ve been trying to figure out what noodles these are traditionally made with, do you know? I also usually make it with thin spaghetti pasta, but there is a specific texture that I miss, which you can only get from using the real thing. Might be time for me to investigate the noodle aisle at the Chinese grocery store..

One of the best noodles for this dish are buckwheat noodles. The flavors work very well together.

Robin, I’m pretty sure that there is no typo. I’ve gotten e-mails form people who’ve made it and enjoyed, but if your preference is less sesame oil, feel free to put less. Also, everyone’s soy sauce will be a little different, peanut butter is different from different brands, so adjust as you wish.

Are you sure these are the right proportions? I mixed all of these things up very well, and it tastes like I’m drinking sesame oil. 4 teaspoons of sesame oil is a LOT and it completely overpowers it. I *love* peanut sauce, but I can’t even taste the peanut flavor at all. Could you clarify? Thanks!

Mary Caroline, my mom does that too when she wants to limit her carbs.

Love this! Perfect summer grilled-anything accompaniment. I throw the peanut sauce ingredients in the blender/food processor and its done in seconds. I like mine with a kick so I add crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce. If I don’t feel like noodles I just use the peanut sauce on julienne cucumbers & carrots and some very thinly sliced vidalia or red onion tossed together.
