This was excellent...I don't eat tofu, so substituted halloumi cheese for it... this is a cheese that doesn't melt when heated and is very tasty (this cheese can also be grilled)... this was over-all a delicious dish... I also substituted Pad Thai rice noodles for the fettuccine; if you do use the rice noodles, I would cut back to 8 oz. instead of the 12 oz.

No need to go out for Thai anymore! This is quick, easy and oh so good! I have substituted shrimp for the tofu when my daughter is home as she's not big into tofu. We make this frequently!

I added 2 spoons of peanut butter to the sauce and totally skipped the Tofu and just went with a whole bag of frozen veggies that I stir fried with noodles. The peanuts on top added some great crunch. I loved it and will make it over and over again.

Excellent!! Easy and quick. I didn't have peanuts so I substituted peanut butter 1/4 cup. Added the pb to the sauce - tasted authentic. I will make this again very soon.

Made exactly as recipe although I did add some chili-garlic sauce rather than the Louisiana hot sauce. The only change I would make next time is to double the sauce.

Needs a few more vegetables, but was a delicious and filling dish that the kids loved!

We had this for dinner tonight. It was the first time I ever cooked with tofu. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised and my husband thought it tasted very authentic!
