This was pretty good but I think the sauce was missing something. Also, the leftovers were very dry and not very good. I think you need to eat all of it right away.

My family enjoyed this and I brought it to a potluck for church. It was very good. I thought it got dry pretty quick, so next time I will make more sauce, or add more oil, but the ratio of ingredients in the sauce had such a tasty and wonderful combination of flavors. Its probably the best peanut sauce I have tried so far. Thanks.

This was absolutely gorgeous, and so so easy to make. It took me a total of 6 minutes to put this dish together including getting ingredients together and packing them away again! I found it a bit dry when it was ready so added a splash of sesame oil which really lifted it. Thank you so much, Betty Jo - a real keeper!

OH MY GOSH! We couldn't get enough of this. SOOO good! Added sliced green onions just before serving and doubled the sauce. I found the added oil is not that necessary with the sauce doubled! We loved it!
