Comments on: Aarti Paarti Ep. 21: Peanut Noodles for Miss Piggy! http://www.aartipaarti.com/2009/07/30/aarti-paarti-ep-21-peanut-noodles-for-miss-piggy/ eat. giggle. repeat.

I had to come up with something I could make with what I had on hand. I had a few substitutions to make this go but it worked well. I didn't have asparagus or peppers so I went with fresh green beans and broccoli that I cooked briefly with the spaghetti and then fished out separately and chilled.I ran low on soy sauce so I tried Devi's trick (thanks!) of mixing in some Braggs aminos. No chicken but I had a block of tofu. I sliced and marinated that for about an hour adding some red miso paste to the marinade to give it a little more depth since it was tofu, and roasted the slices in the oven until they got dark brown and sizzling. Then I cut those into strips and arranged them in a sunburst on top of the noodles. The veges got tossed with some of the sauce and arranged around the edges. The noodles were a huge hit and I really like it with the tofu. Thanks for the great recipe, Aarti!

I used Braggs liquid aminos instead of the soy sauce to cut down on the sodium and Agave nectar instead of honey. Great recipe. Will try something else tomorrow.

I was rooting for you all thru the competition & prayed hard too. So happy you won. I made the baked samosas yesterday. Being a Sri Lankan, I added pandan leaves, kaffir lime leaves & lemon grass to the filling.The dough was oh so easy and so pliable & easy to work with. My hubby took the leftovers for lunch today & called a little while ago to say he liked it more today! Making your cold noodles tonight. I added 4 Tsp of red wine vinegar instead of 4 teaspoons. Help! What can I do? Don't feel like starting over. You probably don't have time to reply anyway. If anyone else can respond, I'll appreciate it a lot. Aarti, I am a huge fan of yours.

Was awesome. <br /><br />Was that Amy Poehler with prosciutto in her mouth?<br /><br />Anyway, I have made peanut noodles many a time (just made some on Monday) and even though it's always good, I never seem to strike the perfect balance between too bland and mouth-searingly astringent (I think I use too much lime and ginger). I am eager to try your version, especially with the addition of tea (instead of regular old warm water). Also, I notice that when you say sriracha you aren't using the squirt bottle...is it the chili-garlic version that you use?<br /><br />AND (yes, there's more), I am so glad season 3 has started. I'm doing my part and sharing your site with friends that I think will appreciate you! <br /><br />Yay! That. Was awesome.
