I used this recipe. It's really quick and easy and perfect for the middle of the week (not to mention delicious). The whole thing probably took me an hour from start to finish. I don't know what the recipe means when it says "10 minutes." I mean, it's not Top Ramen. Thank you, oh woman whose name I want even though I cannot pronounce it, for making all us normal folk feel inadequate. With the look in your eyes, I have a feeling you can cook this meal, wash the dishes, pound a quart of coffee and read War and Peace all in under 10 minutes.
I couldn't find "chile oil," so I cut up a chile and dropped it in oil and heated it over the stove, then scooped out the chile pieces and saved the oil and voila: chile oil. I used this fancy buckwheat pasta I got at a great little food shop/deli in Pismo. The only thing I would point out about this recipe is that the sauce is THICK. It's not the kind of sauce you can "pour" over the noodles. I tried to mix it with the pasta in a bowl, but then just decided to put the pasta back on the stove with the peanut sauce mixture and a dash of soy sauce to loosen it all up a bit, and that worked out well.
I put the whole thing in one dish to make it family style. The skewers won't really stand up in the pasta, but no biggie.
Bon appetit.
You're making me hungry. Argh.
