O'hana noodles recipe

[Bibbidi]

I forgot to ask on Thursday night when we had dinner there and AllEars doesn't have it posted--anyone know what the recipe is for the noodles at O'hana???

I don't have the recipe, but you must have liked them. I heard that they took away the potatos and replaced it with the noodles. I'd be interested in seeing this info too.

There is a recipe thread that is quite long. The index for all of the recipes is:

Thank you for that recipe, although there did not seem to be a peanuty type sauce on these noodles. They reminded me more of chinese lo mein noodles. Do you think this could be a different noodle recipe--did O'hana previously have a different noodle dish in a peanut sauce before they went to those potatoes and now to noodles?

Ugh, I hope there's no peanuts in them. That just sounds gross to me.

There were no chopped peanuts on our noodles. If there was peanut butter in the sauce, I really couldn't taste it, it was just a nicely flavored noodle dish and it wasn't like the noodles were dripping with a thick sauce of any kind. There was a peanut dipping sauce for the meats, and the sauce on the noodles did not taste as peanutty as that. I just googled the recipe online and found the same information that Hootch provided above. Typically when I've had a peanut sauce on something it has been thicker and these noodles were not greasy or "coated" in a sauce persay. They were very much like lo mein noodles you would get if you ordered chicken or shrimp lo mein (but without the chicken or shrimp). They had a few pieces of chive on them, more as decoration than flavoring. There might have been a few pieces of white onion in there as well. I really liked them a lot, which is why I'm trying to find the recipe. I did have a margarita with dinner which may have affected my palate with regard to peanut flavor sensitivity
