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!

For the sauce, I added lime juice and reduced some of the rice vinegar. For veggies, I added cabbage and white onions and celery to a pan, crisped high heat w garlic and oil. Half veg was cold, half crisped up. Was too lazy to add the chicken. I added the sauce when the udon was hot and mixed some of the udon water into the sauce. Topped w cilantro, peanuts, fresh lime and seasame seeds. I know what to do with my celery now. Udon stir fry rotation will have to share w this recipe.

My grandfather had a peanut farm that in these challenging times has now served as a staple for my family. I remember our frequent trips, the workers scattered across to checkered plains catch the wild peanuts, scurrying like excited spring rabbits. After catching the day's bounty, we would feast. For the past several months, we have ate nothing but peanuts, their shells scattered across our floor - causing a crunch beneath our toes like walking on a beach with one too many shells. Finding this recipe changed our lives and completely shifted my life's perspective. Thank you. Thank you.

I used half the oil and BA's spicy tofu crumbles and no one died-- I don't even think anyone noticed. I would eat my own foot if it was covered in that peanut sauce sauce.

Solid basic recipe for peanut sauce, ended up using slightly less soy sauce because it's so salty. Didn't have quite enough vegetable oil so I added sesame oil and chili oil to help thin it out and also for flavor, and grated ginger to jazz it up. Definitely great with those additions, but in retrospect I should've also added lime like someone else suggested. This was perfect with udon noodles and sliced poached chicken thighs; I added roasted broccoli, cucumber matchsticks, and scallions. Excellent warm weather meal.

Very yummy. I did add a 1/2 tsp grated ginger and juice of one lime to the sauce. This made it extra delicious. Added mango, red pepper, cilantro, fresh salad greens and crispy tofu to make it a complete meal.

Followed this recipe exactly, except only had soba noodles, which worked very well. I will definitely make this again, but will add hot pepper flakes or other spicy heat source for a little "oomph".

Very easy & delicious. My first experience w/ udon. Used half-package pre-shredded carrots, seeded, chopped tomatoes, & chopped cukes, green onions & asparagus for the vegetables. I also added a cube of frozen, pre-grated ginger to the sauce mix plus some red pepper flakes & used walnut oil. Sprinkled w/ dry-roasted peanuts, this made a great meal! This will be a regular.
