I just tried the peanutty noodles tonight and liked them. However, I have an old Cooking Light recipe that is similar that I think I prefer. Has anyone else tried both? What do you think?

Here's the old recipe. I'm not sure what month/year it's from. I usually add shrimp to this.

Udon Noodle with Asian Vegetables and Peanut Sauce
4 servings

6 Tb. water
1/4 c. reduced fat creamy peanut butter
2Tb. brown sugar
2Tb. low sodium soy sauce
2Tb. rice vinegar
1 1/2 tsp. minced peeled fresh ginger
1 1/2 tsp. dark sesame oil
1/2 tsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. chile paste with garlic
2 garlic cloves, minced
8 oz. uncooked udon noodles or spaghetti
4 cups sliced bok choy
2 cups snow peas, halved crosswise
1 cup shredded carrot

-Combine first 10 ingredients in a small saucepan; stir with a whisk until blended. Bring to a boil. Cook one minute, stirring constantly. Set aside.

- Cook noodles in boiling water. Drain well. Combine noodles, peanut sauce, bok choy, snow peas, and carrots in a large bowl. Toss well to coat.

mightyh,
I haven't tried the recipe you just posted from the older issue, but I definitely will. (Not this week, I've already planned out my weekly menu and gone shopping http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/biggrin.gif ). But I'll stick them on next week's and let you know which ones I like better. Boy, do I love peanut butter sauce. Mmmm.
