    What was for dinner last night

    Elizabeth Halfman from DAVENPORT, IA

    I made this for dinner last night but I replaced chicken for the shrimp, it was excellent.

  • Star(s)

    loved the sauce

    William Willmitch from Florida

    I had been looking for a simple peanut sause and this was it. I've used it as a salad dressing as well as a dip for chicken satay. Feel quilty I never got around to making the pad thai

    It's right "at home" !!

    k kjellsteen from vermillion, SD

    This is a relatively easy dish to make and it tastes fantastic! Bring us more of these great, "at home" recipes! Thanks!!

    tastes just like its supposed to!

    Maryann Herman from Geneva, NY

    I made this according to the recipe, except doubled the sauce. I've tried making pad thai before and it never tastes as good as the restaurant. This recipe does!

    GOOD & DIFFERENT

    Deb WEITZEL from BOCA RATON, FL

    I ALWAYS READ THE REVIEWS, I FIND THEM VERY HELPFUL. THE PEANUT DIDN'T SEEM TO GO OVER VERY WELL, SO I LEFT IT OUT. GOOD FOR A CHANGE.

    sandra duesterhaus from KANSAS CITY, MO

    Yummy

    Nieves Soberano from Hercules, CA

    Omitted peanut butter but I add tofu & its really good. Yummy, yummy.

    Mmmm

    Jennifer Finch from Vacaville, CA

    This is very good. It had just the right amount of everything. I substitued tofu for the shrimp to make it vegetarian. The only thing is I used boiling not "hot tap water" and the noodles were too soft.
