I had high hopes for this dish because my husband and I enjoy Thai food. However this was unappetizing and we ended up throwing away most of it. It turned out to be "gloppy" and bland. Danielle Kirkland WA
Our family tried this recipe tonight and were impressed. I sauted the chicken instead of poaching using cooking spray. Even my picky husband asked for seconds! Having lost over 80 pounds in the last six months recipes like this are heaven sent!
No way do I go for the smooth peanut butter! I either use chunky or sprinkle some crushed nuts on the dish before serving. Love the crunch. This is also a great vegetarian choice without the added chicken.
This recipe was really simple. I thought the leftovers had a lot more flavor... maybe letting the spices in the sauce sit for a day will take care of the blandness other people have mentioned. I would now serve this to others...
I have made this recipe 5 times now and it has become a family favorite. I cut the chili sauce down to 1 tsp. as my son does not like spicy food and add more garlic. I also double the veggies. I use whatever veggies I have left over in the fridge paired with a package of frozen stir fry veggies. The pasta I have cut down to half a package of dreamfields thin spagetti ( a box is 13.5oz). Great one dish meal. Very filling.
Love Love Love! As someone who is not too fond of peanut butter I am amazed at how much I love this dish! It tastes even better as leftovers. I normally tire of leftovers after a day or 2. I had 4 days worth and was disappointed when I realized I was down to my last serving. I recommend crunchy peanut butter as others have suggested. And I also suggest not using the entire cup of cooking liquid. Maybe 1/2 to 3/4. I eliminated the chicken and it was just fine. Pros: Easy and Quick
I've tried most of the "similiar" recipes listed and they are all much better than this one. The 1 cup cooking liquid made for a pretty disgusting final product. Anonymous Arlington VA
YUM - Really great! I used a little less water for the sauce because I didn't want it to be runny when everything got mixed together and used twice the veggies and a little more buckwheat soba noodles to use up the package. The soba noodles are a little sweet and went really well with the slightly spicy sauce. The chunky peanut butter wasn't very chunky so next time I will add chopped peanuts too. Even my daughter liked it (minus a few veggies she picked out). Will definitely be on my list to make again! Would be great with tofu shrimp or combination too! Pros: Easy flavorful healthy
I made this for myself and my kids. It was seriously bland. Need to add more spice.
