I make something very similar... my sauce is a little different though.
I use a large tablespoon of peanut butter, a drop of sesame oil, crushed fresh garlic, minced fresh ginger, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to your taste), a dash of soy sauce, a little vinegar to thin it out (either white or rice wine). If the vinegar makes it too pungeant try adding a tiny bit of sugar, or use cider vinegar. Once I whisk all of these together I taste it and add more of whichever is needed. (I hate measuring) I usually eat this with noodles like in the recipe, or on a salad. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for grilled chicken or beef satay.
So i followed the directions exactly and the recipie came out a little on the bland side...also, the chicken took way longer to cook because mine was not pre-trimmed so i had to trim it.
Here is how i changed the recipie to make it taste better.
Instead of boiling the chicken, cube the breasts and fry them in 1 tbsp of oil. set aside before you do ANYTHING ELSE
in the sauce i used 1.5 Tbsp of Hot garlic sauce
1.5 Tbsp garlic
5 tablespoons of soy sauce WITH THE SALT IN IT
i would also consider an extra bag of veggies.
after that it was an OK recipie as opposed to tasteless, but i still didnt care for it all that much. still eddible but not worth repeating
I made this the other day for my parents they loved it, I didn\\'t add the peanut butter or ginger.. but it was freakin good lol better than the fast food chinese restaurant here in town
This is a suggestion for the reader who could not eat peanuts: try tahini, which is a paste made out of sesame seeds. Something may have to be added/subtracted to get the same intensity of nut flavor, but it would still taste great.
Good recipe! And SO easy. I may just make the sauce every once in a while and keep it handy as a dressing for steamed veggies and/or noodles.
I would love to try this recipe, but some people in my family can\\'t eat peanut butter. Can I just take it out or replace it with something else? Please let me know.

This recipe\'s a oldie at our house. You can eat it warm or cold. My mom\'s been making this for us since I can remember. Replace listed veggies with some cold cucumber shreds, bean sprouts (cooked quickly and cooled in iced water.) and chives. Also, add a splash rice vinegar and Chinese sesame oil. Enjoy on a hot summer day!
Sounds easy and delish. I would probably omit the chili/garlic condiment tho. My husband pours that SIrachi sauce over everything!!!. Is that the same thing? :)
Fantastic!!! Will be adding it as a family favorite!
