    Very good, but I had to make a few little changes in the end to make it really suit my tastes: I found adding an extra tbsp rice vinegar gave it the perfect tanginess, and I felt like it was begging for a little sweetness, so I added 1 tsp honey and it was just enough for me. I used 1/2 tsp cayenne instead of the chili paste and chiles and it turned out to be a tad too hot for me, but I know I'm the only one to blame for this! Served it over buckwheat noodles, with a few extra drops of sesame oil and sprinkled with sesame seeds. I think this recipe would also work well with diced tofu or chicken (cooked first and then set aside). Thanks for posting!

    Absolutely fantastic, thanks! As mentioned, I, too, would double the sauce, it's that great. Had to use Marsala wine instead of sake. Used onions and mushrooms as veggies and serrano chilies instead of Thai and Udon noodles. Husband added a little plum sauce to the final product, and it gave it an added richness as well. A keeper!!
