A little peanut butter and a sprinkling of peanuts give this side dish plenty of flavor. While red pepper flakes offer a little kick, brown sugar balances it out with a hint of sweet. —Mitzi Sentiff of Annapolis, Maryland

This was very good and I'm already planning on making it again! The only modification I made was using rice noodles instead of pasta.

I usually like the recipes here but not this one, it was terrible. The peanut butter made it sweet and mealy and I will not make this again. My family was very unhappy with it as well
