Join the discussionThis was SO good! Made it last night–doubled the sauce (and used chunky peanut butter!) and made a whole box of pasta. Even better as leftovers the next day. THANK YOU!
I LOVE it with chunky peanut butter, too. I’m so glad you liked it as much as I do. Now I need to whip up another batch. Yum! Thanks for letting us know.
I made this last night with sauteed zucchini, squash, onion and pepper. Used Japanese rice noodles instead of whole-grain ones…Super yum. Added some chicken to satisfy the carnivorous husband, but I was OK with just the chickpeas. Thanks so much for sharing, I have had this bookmarked for months but was too scared to try, the ingredients seem so odd together, but it was perfect!
I’m so glad you liked it, Michelle. It does seem weird at first, but when you break down the ingredients of a more traditional Thai peanut sauce, it’s pretty similar. And this is so much easier to throw together! Glad the carnivorous hubby was able to enjoy it, too!
I made this exactly as called for except I subbed Japanese soba noodles and added red pepper flakes for heat. Loved it!!!! So good -thank you!
I made this and it was great! Any ideas for side dishes that go well with it for a dinner party? Or dessert ideas?
I think some spring rolls would be great with this. Maybe these Vegan Thai-Style Dumplings http://veggieconverter.com/201… or these Baked Chicken (with chopped chickpeas subbed in for chicken) and Vegetable Spring Rolls: http://onceamonthmom.com/baked-chicken-and-vegetable-spring-rolls/Rice pudding or Thai sticky rice would be a great dessert, maybe in some fancy little tea cups for your guests!I’m so glad you liked the recipe, let us know how the dinner party goes.
Very surprised how good it was! We added sautéed shrimp for extra protein.
