This recipe is very tasty, healthy, and quick! I love both bell peppers and snow peas and they compliment each other perfectly. I did have to substitute the sesame oil for plain vegetable oil because my local grocery store didn't have the sesame. Even with that substitution...it was great! It's definitely a repeat and I will be searching for sesame oil for next time!
