This was a really, really good dish. The bottled peanut sauce really gave it a kick! My husband and son loved it--I used fresh green beans in place of the broccolini, and it was fantastic. Thanks for the recipe!

How much peanut butter and how much soy sauce do you use for the substitute for the peanut sauce?

delish... everyone loved it.i used crunchy peanut butter and soy sauce (as someone suggested below) since the store sold out of the peanut sauce. and i added chili powder instead of the crushed red pepper. the heat balanced well with the peanut combo
