I'm not a big fan of snap peas, but this dish was actually pretty good. The mint sauce really helped to brighten up the flavor of the peas.

This was a great way to use up some leftover snap peas. I added a few extra vegetables, like broccoli and carrots, and it was a delicious and healthy meal.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my snap peas were a little tough. Not sure what I did wrong.

This was a great recipe! I substituted olive oil for the sesame oil, and it was still delicious.
