This is the first time I used peanut butter in a dish and sorry to say I did not care for it that much. It was okay but don't think I'd make it again.

While I had to pick a number of the ingredients for this, I am so glad I did. This was so easy to make and so delicious. You can definitely switch up the vegetables and ground meat to use whatever you have. I made it with pad thai noodlesbbit it would work with other noodles as well.
