Spicy Peanut Sauce for Noodles, Veggies And/or Meat
"This is a recipe that my sister clipped out of a magazine almost 20 years ago. Despite that, it's surprisingly spicy and VERY tasty. You may want to add less chili oil if yours is very spicy, or more peanut butter if you'd like a thicker sauce."

This was good. I made exactly as posted. I didn't feel it was too spicy, it could have used a little more for me. But, for some reason, the vinegar was overpowering in the dish (I dont' feel that is the recipes fault). I used rice wine vinegar and only used 3 1/2 TBS. vinegar. I did this just with noodles. I used whole wheat linguine, and the sauce to noodle ratio was perfect. I loved the scallions at the end. Kept them crisp and vibrant tasting. Thanks for this recipe! I will be making it again. -
It was really good. I used this for an asian twist on some veggies but everyone was dipping their meat in it too. It's a overall good sauce, a bit to spicey for my taste but I just did what you said and went easy with the chili! THANKS!

In my family, I am most famous (infamous) for several dishes:
My first original recipe: Conceived around age 7, for a cheese sandwich. Toasted English muffin, spread with butter, slice of American cheese, a good layer of Parmesan, top with other half of buttered muffin.
My most disasterous recipe: The Exploding Brownies. Otherwise great hershey's recipe for brownies involving an ingredient (baking powder) that I'd never used before. I somehow misread 1/4 teaspoon as a 1/4 cup. Brownie coated the ENTIRE oven.
My most requested recipe: Stollen at Christmas. I am required to make one for my mother ever since my sister gave me Christian Teubner's wonderful Christmas Baking book full of traditional German Christmas treats.
