cshiley has decided I'm trying out a new recipe for sesame peanut noodles. The internets has a variety of recipes; I'm going to try the one from nytimes. But I'm suspicious - it only calls for 2T of peanut butter, and other recipes call for, like, half a cup for the same amount of noodles.
Asked 2 years ago
My choice: Assume that the recipe is good and the proportions are right, and maybe nytimes just wants less sauce overall for the noodles?

The last NYTimes recipe I tried turned out really well, though I was skeptical at first. I think their recipes are generally pretty good. Try this recipe and, if they really are on crack, then aggressively modify it.

Depends on your cooking style. I expect the NYT recipe is fine, a little peanut butter can go a long way. You might want something heavier. Try it once, and then modify/subvert?

Assume that nytimes is smoking crack and prepare to aggressively modify the proportions in the sauce?

Be experimental. I generally try to make a recipe that averages other online recipes while maintaining a good base from a trusted recipe.

In general I trust the recipe the first time I make it, but that's pretty crackful.

Sauce is delicous!
