“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

Good thing this recipe is for 6 people. My family of four almost wiped the pan clean!

I guess kids might like this, but I thought it was quite bland. Even with cutting the number of garlic cloves in half, that flavor was overpowering.

It was fine, but it didn't blow me away--the sauce did not have a distinctive flavor to me.

I have made this several times, and it is always such a hit. I even make it for company. We love it. I add extra hot sauce and peanut butter and little less cabbage.

This is a delicious dish with an authentic flavor. Great for hot weather when you want a satisfying meal without heating up your kitchen. It was also pretty quick to prepare. A big hit at our house.

This was a fabulous meal! I did double the sauce part cause I like it saucy and it was great!

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!!

Quick, easy and super yummy!!

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.

Great flavor!!! I think this will become a regular favorite.

This recipe is simple, delicious and adds a new dimension to the typical stir-fry. The peanut butter and cabbage make this dish out of this world.

Delicious! I only had creamy peanut butter on hand and it was just as good. I will be making this dish all the time!

We all loved it, even though I was minus the cabbage. Will definitely make again!

I think there is too much cornstarch. I would reduce the amount to 2 tbl.

Reviewed on Feb. 07, 2011 by JaGo405

Great flavor and simple to make. I let everyone spoon their own peanuts on top of their portion. Definitely thickens quickly once sauce is poured over the meat and veggies so be prepared to pull it off the burner and serve, or use the other reviewers suggestion to thin with more chicken broth.

Reviewed on Feb. 01, 2011 by nkeaton

Very good. Think I would not add the peanuts next time, but my husband liked them, so I think it is a matter of preference.

Reviewed on Feb. 01, 2011 by Selene K

This is a great recipe. If you do not use the salted peanuts on top, you might want to add a small amount of salt. When I make this again, I will add red pepper flakes. Don't overcook. Thickens very fast. You might want to save some of the chicken broth to loosen if it gets too thick. Very tasty and easy.
