This was pretty good as a start, but needs some tinkering. I increased the soy sauce and added ~ 1 TBS sugar and some water to the peanut butter before I mixed it in. Could have added even more sugar, and I might try coconut milk and a little vinegar next time. It's missing a bite, and the vinegar might help. I also sauteed some julienned carrots and string beans separately and added them in when I mixed in the peanut butter mixture, which went well. Good to generously sprinkle raw chopped scallion on top when serving. I'll make it again, but with a lot of modifications.

This recipe has potential, but needs more peanut butter and maybe to be marinated.

I was very disappointed in this dish. It was bland and I had to add more soy, lime, and tamirand juice to give it a bit of complexity. Would not make again.

I subbed out the olive oil and used peanut oil. I also made a peanut sauce out of peanut butter, rice vinegar, yellow curry, garlic and ginger for a previous meal. It all came together nicely. Serve it hot!

A good base recipe. I've tweaked after several attempts and am very happy with the results. First, thai chili sauce really works well with the flavors already in the recipe and makes everything "pop". I dabble on to taste since some of the chili sauce can get quite spicy. Next, I like to add carrots based on a suggestion by another viewer, it varies the texture nicely. I like to up the fresh cilantro to play of the spice from the chili sauce. Finally, if there is anything you can omit, it's the coconut flakes. While I don't mind them, they don't really add much flavor or texture to the dish (unless you really love coconut).

This was delicious! I added green pepper, a little onion and some broccoli to the dish and served it over brown rice. Healthy and tasty.

Not good! It was bland and two peanut buttery. I will not be making this one again and I suggest you don't either. Even curry couldn't help it.

not a lot of flavor...missing sweet chili sauce as a marinade. Also stuck to the pan...perhaps take extra firm tofu

This was easy and so delicious. I used the suggestion to combine the peanut butter with some coconut milk, and that worked beautifully. I thought the flavor was perfect, not too overpowering, but still strong enough to be satisfying. I'll definitely make this again.

We really like this (even my 15yo picky stinker). I used extra firm tofu and used peanut oil in place of the olive oil (which I thought would be an odd ingredient for this dish). Thanks for the recipe!

It was good but the peanut butter was a little overpowering. If I made it again I would use less peanut butter.

Nothing amazing here. Kind of bland with the ingredients that are listed. I added in a bit of salt and pepper. A splash of rice vinegar and some thai garlic chili sauce. I also added in some red peppers and mushrooms. For a similar dish on this site that is fantastic, try "Swimming Angels" on this site. However this recipe was good for an easy dinner, just needed a bit of tweaking for my personal taste.
