This was so easy! I served this with Bourbon Chicken and even my teenagers liked it. I had some leftover snow peas from a vegetable tray from a Christmas party, so I didn't have quite a 1/2 lb., but it was still plenty for the four of us. Thanks!

This is such a quick and easy dish with great flavors. I used fresh ginger. Next time I will use less cooking oil. Great side dish! Made for ZWT 6.

This is so yummy. I used fresh ginger. And I let everything cook a bit longer cause I don't like the snow peas too crispy. Thanks Nimz :) Made for the Zwizzle Chicks of ZWT
