Back to TopAs written, just OK. I tihnk the chili oil clashed with the peanut butter sauce & another spicy finish might be better - sriracha or sambal? Seeing other comments, lime &/or ginger sound like good additions.

Absolutely delicious. Added matchstick carrots, subbed radish for daikon, Added lime juice and sriracha. Used rotisserie chicken. And since I had them added cooked peas for color. Might do some chopped peanuts as a garnish next time for some texture in addition to chopped scallions.

I made this last night. I chose it because our kitchen is too hot to use an oven in the summer. What an easy, delicious, perfect-for-summer meal! I bought a rotisserie chicken at the store so no baking. I did have to boil the noodles on the stove, but not for long. I would recommend this dish to anyone wanting to spare a hot kitchen/house and also enjoy a delicious meal. Oh! and it's also a beautiful looking dish. I couldn't find any mung beans in my store, but added in some sliced cucumber and a few matchstick carrots. Deliciouso!

Going into the "recipe box!" This dish is light, but filling and a nice balanced flavor. I didn't deaveate from the recipe, except added carrots cut similar to the dikon and topped with sliced green onions. Delicious!

OBSESSED with this. I didnt have rice vinegar so sub'ed it for ACV (totally fine, could have used less), didnt have daikon so used red cabbage, carrots and green pepper and worked like a charm! SO YUM! I added ginger and lime to the sauce and it was a winner. Everything was so tasty and easily became a family fav. Thank you Claire!
