If you aren't concerned about sodium, you can use regular soy sauce.

In a pinch, 3 to 4 cups of regular chow mein noodles can be used instead of the wide noodles.

This was a terrific recipe, very user friendly. It was easy and was a big hit with my family. The flavors were great. I felt that the recipe was clear and very simple to follow and not a whole lot of ingredients. The peanut sauce was thicker than we like, so I think in the future, I would add a bit more rice vinegar to just give it more of a sauce consistency. I forgot the chow mein noodles.. oops.. NO one noticed. I am a teacher and I will be taking this to potluck luncheons. It makes a lovely presentation.

When I make this salad I use shredded cabbage and carrots in place of or in addition to the lettuce and instead of real chicken I use faux chicken strips and it is yummy.

keep adding peanut butter until it smells tasty, or just buy some asian peanut dressing
