I bought nice fresh noodles from the chinese market last weekend, they were perfect in this dish. We loved this recipe, it was quick and easy to make with terrific results. The flavor of the sauce is outstanding, so many different layers of flavor, which the noodles absorbed beautifully. We ate it hot, but could see that it would be great served cold or at room temperature as well. My dh & I really enjoyed all the flavors in this lovely dish. Added some chicken for a meal in one....so yummy. Made exactly as written, but didn't add the peanuts, used them as garnish for me...as my dh is allergic. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe that I will make often. Made for Spring Pac 2014.

This was very easy to put together and very tasty. I used about 10 oz of Chinese rice noodles, and I thought there was the perfect amount of sauce. I had this as a cold dish/salad, but I think it would be very good warm, too. Thanks for the recipe -- it's nice to have an unusual tasting dish that I can make out of stuff I usually have around.

Hey all you foodies! I am from North Dakota, but have an unending appetite for traveling to discover new culinary adventures! This recipe site is the best on the internet that I have found! My husband and I are constantly on this site looking to see what new has been added and also at least one meal a day (or variations of it)come from this site. I am an untrained, but very enthusiastic home chef. My husband however, is the real chef...(i tell everyone that I am the luckiest wife out there), he can usually take a recipe from great to spectacular! My son is soon to follow in his foot steps, they spend a lot of father/son time in the kitchen coming up with recipes that will please mom. Happy cooking!
