We went to a wedding in NY this weekend. At the cocktail hour they had all types of "stations." One station was Thai.. and they had satay and a peanut sauce on noodles... it was amazing!!!
All the stations were so different.. from a pasta bar to a steamship table to even a "comfort foods" station.. mini burgers, fries and onion rings. They had a mashed potato station and a peking duck station.. Yummy!!!

Jennifer,
Try it with out the peanut butter and just cut the water to 1/4 cup (a white wine instead of water should go nice). It should have a great asian flavor. I do something very similar and serve it cold.

Food for thought... you can easily add good soy protein to this dish by draining and cutting extra firm tofu into cubes and popping it into the sauce just to warm through before serving. Peanut sauce is one of our favorite "Thai-influenced" sauces, and soy protein is extremely healthy. I've read several reports that consider 25 or so grams of soy protein to be heart-beneficial. This may or not be so -- but it is a great way to "beef up" this dish.
