I agree with Cookin-Jo, all cook times are right on the money. This was a very quick dish to prepare, after all the chopping was completed. I too reduced the oil (1/2 t. canola oil; 1 t. dark sesame oil), that was plenty. With the addition of thinlly sliced mushrooms and about 1 t. of rice vinegar at the end, this recipe will be a repeat in our home. I am poaching some chicken breasts and making some brown rice to complete the meal!

Oh YUM!! I had a feeling we would love this recipe- and we did.... the only thing I did differently was to omit the carrots. This is now a "regular" for us. Thanks, Nimz!

These were so easy and fast to throw together and the flavor was delicious. We found it a bit too oily for our taste though--this will be easily fixed by cutting back on the oil next time. I also thought the "sauce" even more delicious on the carrots than on the snow peas, so I may make this sometimes with carrots alone. Thanks Nimz for a keeper!

Excellent recipe! The flavour of the snow peas is enhanced but not overpowered by the sesame oil, ginger and soy sauce. The directions are clear and the cook time of 4 minutes is right on the money. I used fresh ginger, finely chopped red onion and regular sesame oil (thought I had dark but was out of it). I reduced the vegetable oil to 1 teaspoon and may reduce it even further next time. Wonderful flavour and I'll be making this again. Thanks, Nimz!
