SO HOW'D IT GO?

I had to make this because the tantalizing photos were calling to me.
I love it! The sauce is so delicious and peanut buttery.I used 1 box of udon noodles, and added the full  3 tbs  of chili oil and 1/2 a small can of coconut milk and basically left everything else the same. The green onions and cilantro put it over the top. thanks for a delightful dish. I will make this again for sure. ;)b

I made this tonight, and it remains to be one of our favorites! I added quite a bit of hot pasta water so that it would be extra saucy!  :P

This recipe was really yummy! I do have to say that I had to add about a 1/2 a cup of soy milk to make it more of a sauce. At first when I combined the original ingrediants it was still the consistancy of peanut butter. But after I added the milk it was amazing! Oh and for those who like alot of spice, I tried it a second time using thai garlic chili paste :)>>> and it was seriously spicy and delicious! Thanks for the reat recipe!

SO GOOD!! I used rice wine vinegar instead of balsamic, agave for the sweetener, thai sweet chili sauce, and I was unfortunately out of cilantro. Absolutely delicious, and next time I'll buy some cilantro (it's one of my favorites). AC, thanks for the super yummy recipe.
