This was super easy. In truth, I didn't eat it by itself becus i happened to have some leftover vegetable-quinoa pilaf that was very bland, so i cooked up the snow peas, threw in some frozen shrimp and then served that over the quinoa pilaf.<br/><br/>You shouldn't add the sesame seeds til the very end of cooking. You just want to toast them to bring out the flavor, not cook them. If you still have trouble with popping sesame seeds, put a lid on it.

This was just okay. It needed salt and pepper to be okay. I only cooked it over medium heat and did not like the way the sesame seeds popped out of the pan all over the stove, floor, and me. I also had to cook it quite a bit longer than directed.

Easy, pretty and tasty too! I did need to add salt and cooked slightly longer than directed. I really enjoyed the sesame flavor. Thanks mailbelle! Made for the Asian Unrated game.

Really quick and tasty -- I actually didn't even have a pepper and was just looking for a way to use some mange tout (pea pods) and found this little gem. Will try again with the peppers very soon. Thanks for sharing.
