Not a big fan, but I ran out of soy sauce -- and not sure I had the right noodles (I used Thai that you had to warm up). I may try again using FRESH shrimp instead, not frozen. NOT precooked.
0 HelpfulI doubled the sauce recipe and based on the comments used a little less than the 1/4 cup of soy sauce that the recipe called for. It was a huge hit, this will definitely be in our regular rotation. I may add in whatever leftover veggies I have on hand next time.
0 HelpfulFull of great flavors. Easy to prepare. Had a hard time finding the noodles at my local store, but substituted with something else which was fine.
0 HelpfulAllergic to shrimp (Hello, Cook Smarts!! Need shrimp substitutions for your many shrimp recipes), so I used chicken instead. Really good, but I think the chopped peanuts overpowered the overall taste of the dish. Will omit them next time. Otherwise, good!
0 HelpfulI think the problem was, we omitted the shrimp and used salted peanuts. It was way too saucy and salty.
