3/31/2013Much too sweet. 2 tablespoons of sugar? Plus sweetness of Hoisin sauce? Wow.
If I did make it again, I would cut sugar by 50%.

12/12/2011Super easy, great recipe. I added one diced red pepper for some colour and I didn't have any chili garlic sauce so added a touch of sirichai hot sauce, turned out great.

10/23/2011Dead simple and faster and better than take-out! I substituted ground coriander for the fresh I didn't have, and tossed in an egg and some green onions. I've made it with both regular sugar and brown sugar. Either way is great!

8/14/2011The is a WOW! Keeper for sure. Excellent flavors and ready 1-2-3 after prep work. Butterflied the shrimp for faster cooking.

3/27/2011We enjoyed this. I left out the green chiles after reading the reviews, and it was just spicy enough. Also left out the mint; none in the garden yet. This does not require a huge amount of slicing and dicing, like some stir fries do. It really is pretty fast. I agree that the garnishes are important to the flavor of the dish. I will try this again and add the mint--sounds intriguing.

2/18/2011I've made this recipe over & over again since I first saw it in the 2006 issue. It really is dead simple, and deadly delicious too! In my humble opinion, leaving out the peanuts and cilantro is a big mistake though - they act as far more than mere garnish and definitely add to the flavour of the overall dish (especially the cilantro). And don't be fooled - it's amazing what that final squirt of lime juice over top does to elevate the dish. A favorite of ours for sure!

5/8/2009This is an easy and fabulous dish! I used a copper wok which really got hot and sizzled the noodles. Delicious and so easy to make! This is going to be our regular weekly meal.

4/19/2009Once all of the ingredients are assembled, this is easy and delicious. My fourteen year old daughter and her friend declared it "better than take out!". I consider that a high compliment. I used the small shrimp and I think they are well suited to the recipe. This will be new standard in our house.

9/21/2008made this tonight with thai marinated tofu instead of shrimp; added scrambled egg & shredded carrot as the garlic & tofu sauteed a bit - REALLY good!

6/16/2008This recipe is very tasty and tolerates changes depending on the state of your pantry. I have made it with fresh rice noodles as well. Most North Americans find it spicy enough without the peppers. I just add extra chili garlic sauce.

3/14/2008Quick and good. I left out the cilantro and peanuts since they're only a garnish and I wasn't serving to guests. This dish packs a medium heat so, I'll probably leave out the green chilis next time. I could only find diced.
