The peanut sauce is a bit of a hodge-podge based on what I had, but turned out so tasty — like, lick-the-bowl tasty. Not that I did that. Ahem. I like mine a little on the less spicy side, so feel free to add in red pepper flakes or hot sauce if that’s your style.

Thank you! A friend told me about making peanut sauce when PB2, over udon noodles with sesame tofu and lots of sugar snap peas and carrots. So delicious!! But, even with lots of veggies, not so healthy. So I was wondering if I could sub half of the udon noodles with shirataki noodles, or zucchini noodles. I appreciate your blog showing that shirataki works on its own, it gave me the reassurance to order the groceries to try it. Thank you!
Hey, thanks for stopping by! I definitely love all-shirataki dishes as long as the noodles are pretty dry. This method should help! 🙂
Does the calorie estimate include the sauce? It seems low considering all the peanut butter and oil…
Yep, it includes the sauce. It’s only 1/8 of a teaspoon of oil and the powdered peanut butter is actually pretty good for calories. The sauce makes two servings. Thanks for giving it a go! 🙂
This is delicious but I added chicken. This recipe allows me to eat tasty Asian style food without feeling guilty. Thanks so much for a recipe that appeals to my appetite and that may help me shed some pounds. Will def. review the rest of your recipes!
Chicken is a great addition! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I end up making a larger amount and using it a number of recipes. Thanks so much for trying it out!
