Whether you use creamy or crunchy peanut butter for this recipe doesn’t matter, it’s based on your personal preference. If you prefer to have crunchier sauce, go for the crunchy peanut butter!

If you’d like your dish a little spicier, add some chili pepper or red curry paste to the peanut butter. Peppers, sprouts, carrots, ginger, broccoli, and chicken are all some things you can add to your dish for a little more color and variation.

Not only do I LOVE peanut noodles, I love the woman’s story. Altho my path was different, I am thinking of making one of those rustic signs that asks, “Dear God, Don’t’cha think I’m strong enough Now?” ‘Cause you gotta have faith! Things always work out in the end — sometimes actually the way you hope they will! :)
That sign sounds wonderful!!! I agree, faith helps along the way!
Love the message and oh my the recipe looks awesome too! I think my family will love it. Pinning for later.
Thank you! Let me know how it turns out for you!
