This was really good and quick and easy to make! The only thing I did different was use broccoli (the snow peas in the store looked really sketchy)and I used white rice. My fiance, who is not a big fan of what he calls my "stir-fry stuff" enjoyed this too. I had to cook it a little longer but that was because of the broccoli and I used about 1/4 cup lite soy sauce. Good meal!
