Peanut Sesame Noodles

Made the sauce per the recipe. As mentioned by others, rice vinegar would work instead of red wine vinegar. I took the recipe to be flexible in terms of the vegetables to add and added finely julienned radishes and carrots that had been pickled in a rice vinegar/sugar mixture. The sauce was light enough to dress much more than the 3/4 pounds of pasta. I have tons of pasta left over and plan to add surimi fishcake to the leftovers.

Flavorful and easy! Used 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes because we like spice - it was perfect!

Great peanut sauce if your looking for that Chinese Restaurant experience. I agree with the other reviewer. Double the recipe except for the warm water.

I love this recipe. So easy and good and my family, who hardly ever all like the same thing, all love this. I serve the components separately, adding in other veggies, sometimes tofu or tempeh, toasted peanuts and some meat sometimes for the carnivore. Then everyone makes their own noodle bowl salad bar style and tops it with the sauce. I also use this same dressing as a dipping sauce for fresh spring rolls.

Perfect and really easy! The flavor is exactly right. I added a spoonful to my spicy seafood flavor ramen and it's delicious!

Loved this recipe!!! The dressing was perfect on rice noodles with veggies. Next I'm going to try it on a salad with grilled chicktrn, edamame, roasted red pepper, cilantro and a chili vinaigrette (just like paneras Thai chicken salad).

Great recipe with a few improvements. I added fresh cilantro to the dressing (about 1/4 cup), used agave nectar instead of honey, and about doubled all the other dressing ingredients except the peanut butter. Used soba noodles. Wonderful! You can use any veggies you have on hand.

Great recipe! Followed recipe exactly except I had to use Soba noodles as that is what I had on hand. Also tried topped with grilled chicken marinated in some soy/sesame oil and coated in sesame seeds.

Good stuff... I used kelp noodles for a lower carb meal. Delicious!

I adore this recipe and always use the base then add whatever veggies are available. I always blend in a few handfuls of kale to sneak in veggies for the kids, which does require additional water.

So delicious! I made it with buckwheat soba noodles instead of linguini. My husband and I are totally addicted!

I too added a little extra water to thin the sauce more. I read the other reviews of people using rice vinegar instead so I used half red half rice wine vinegar I added siracha instead of the flakes. Let's just say its AMAZING! It's super easy and quick and a great go to recipe!

I'm giving this a 4, but I think it's really a 3.5. This one always gets a thumbs up from my family. LIke others, I do make a few changes: unseasoned rice vinegar instead of red wine vinegar, sriracha hot sauce instead of the dried hot pepper flakes. I love DeCecco fedelini (no.10) instead of linguine/spaghetti. If I don't have sesame seeds, lightly salted peanuts are great for garnish. And I make it a few hours ahead of time - my husband likes the consistency better when the flavors soak in a bit.

I thought it was great. I did use a bit more water to thin it out. I used the new whole wheat spaghetti pastas they have on the market. I also agree with everyone that a vegetable is needed. I will try sliced pea pod and perhaps some julienne carrots for a crunch. Do not combine sauce with noodle until you are ready to serve. Also save any sauce you may not have used. My leftovers had soaked up all the creaminess and was a bit dry but still tasty. I served my cold!

Addictive. I ate too much. Allergy to sesame, so I left that out. Tasted GREAT anyway. I agree... the sauce is versatile... could use over cooked veggies, over rice... use your imagination!
