This was good, but I didn't get the wow that I was so hoping for. I was surprised that there was enough sauce to cover all the ingredients. It didn't seem that there would be when I prepared it. I made as posted but did omit the peanuts because we don't care for them. Thanks for posting.

this has a nice combination of flavors, I doubled the complete recipe but but only used 1 tablespoon of the coriander for a double recipe, also I used seasoned salt and lots fresh ground black pepper, thanks for sharing Mandy!...Kitten:)
