“My daughter makes this yummy stir-fry often for our family. It goes together so quickly. The peanuts and chunky peanut butter give it a nice crunch. Leftovers—if there are any—are great!”—Shirley Conrad, High Amana, Iowa

This dish was a big hit. Our whole family loved it. I left out the peanuts to keep the fat content down but the nuts from the peanut butter were enough to give it great flavor and texture. Definitely will keep this in the menu box. Thanks for the recipe!

This dish was a hit! The whole family loved it. I made it without the additional peanuts to keep the fat content down, but the bits from the peanut butter were enough to add great flavor and texture. Definitely will keep this in the menu box. Thanks for the recipe!!

I was hesitant to make this because I usually do not like ginger, but I did not even notice the ginger flavor in this dish. I also did not have crunchy peanut butter on hand, so I used creamy and it was still great. I don't think you even notice once you add the chopped peanuts. The leftovers heated up really well and so I will definitely make this again.
