This was fantastic, colorful, easy and very adaptable. We don't use a microwave and I only lightly steamed the snow peas with the remaining veggies left raw. The vegetables were placed on a platter in a colorful display: Russian kale cut into ribbons to sub for baby bok choy; added fresh organic cilantro. I also lightly fried two eggs in a small amount of toasted sesame oil to add protein to this recipe for a complete meal. Served over Organic Planet's udon noodles. Next time I'll try diced or cubed tofu, tempeh or chicken for the protein. We liked the sauce although I skipped the garlic because the sweet chili sauce already contains it. Will make again soon! Thanks for posting!
