Made these as a side to "Spicy Basil Chicken" and "Brown Rice with Sesame" (both from this site) and they were great. Had to make a few modifications, however. Didn't use the peppers (neither DH or I care for them) and added minced garlic per another reviewer. Somehow couldn't get the cooking down right; ended up adding a little water and a lid to finish off the peas. Worked like a charm and the peas were still crunchy.
Good dependable side that's a breeze to make. Great as a side for any stir fry.
Great and super easy side dish. I love sesame oil, so this hit the spot! I omitted the red bell this time. I think mushrooms could also be delicious with the snow peas.
I think this is a nice, easy side dish that could be varied depending on what you had fresh on hand to go along with the snow peas. I'd like to add some garlic and/or minced ginger too.
This is another one of those simple recipes with great flavor. Great side.
Simple and delicious. I didn't have red peppers on hand, so just used the snow peas. I cranked up the heat quite high in my non-stick pan to get more of a stir-fry. I probably killed the neighbor's canary in the process, but it made for a delicious side! The flavor of the toasted sesame oil does diminish significantly after cooking, so be sure to add some at the end as directed. Definitely err on the lower side of the oil though--as the other reviewers say, it does come out quite oily if cooked as directed.
I always reduce the amount of oil in recipes and did so here as well. The taste of the sesame oil with the crispness of the veggies was delish! It was so quick and easy. Will make a lot more for sure!
Recipes like these remind me that vegetables don't have to be boring. I used to think the only way to serve them was steamed. Thanks Cooking Light! I agree with skspillman, the peas were a bit oily. I might stir them in with the sesame brown rice.
Very good and easy. I used frozen sugar snap peas.
I doubled the vegetables and kept the sesame oil the same and still found this to be a bit oily. Next time I think I'll just stir the snow peas and pepper strips in with the spicy basil chicken.
Quick side dish, with an extra bonus because I love sesame oil.
Super-easy; not really a recipe but nice to have the proportions laid out. Served with CL's spicy basil chicken. Color, crisp side dish that paired nicely with the chicken.
