Delicious. I added sliced yellow onions as well as some chili sauce near the end. I also cooked the snow peas a bit longer. Thank you for a quick and easy recipe!

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!
