   I did add way more peanuts than listed but there is just something about nuts in a stir fry that seems so right.  :)   Even though we made this only 2 weeks ago I can't remember what we thought of it. LOL   I do remember that Mr Picky thought the sauce was good.  Well the picture looks tasty and stir fries are always good so...umm...sure - we'd make this again.  :)
