Carrots are in season right now so I love shredded them up to add crunch and fiber but feel free to add whatever fresh vegetables you have on hand. Red pepper strips, grated zucchini or shredded cabbage would be great as well.

  1. Very good. I added thinly sliced carrots and chopped cabbage because I wanted some vegetables in the dish. Very good peanut sauce.

  2. I tried this with cauliflower rice instead of noodles, insanely delicious, filling and healthy! I also added bamboo shoots and a fried egg! Great recipe, thanks!

  3. Thanks for the awesome recipe. Trying this for a dinner party tonight. Just wanted to verify quantity– is 8oz of noodles really enough for 4 people?

    Thanks again!!

    I started doing a version with all shredded veggies – it works with pretty much everything you can think of! My favorite is to shred cabbage or brussels sprouts sautéed with red peppers, carrots, and onions. You can skip the noodles and not even miss the carbs

  5. This was so amazing! I did a few things differently, just because I was not paying attention and had some rice noodles left over from Pad Thai. I Added all the sauce ingredients together and warmed it up then added a normandy blend to add some veggies then I added the rice noodles and about 1/2 cup of water and let the noodles soften up some. It was all eaten up! Thanks for this!
