I have made this over and over again. It is fantastic. I don't usually use the cilantro and I usually serve it room temp. But every time I make it my family loves it! The one thing I might change this go round - my reduced fat PB has partially hydrogenated oil in it - I'm going to try it with a natural PB this time to see how it works out
Very tasty. I added diced sweet potato to the recipe and used almond butter instead of peanut butter.
added scallions and used Trader Joe's all natural peanut butter.. worked just fine!
