"A delicate Chinese dish that's available at many Chinese restaurants; unfortunately, if I get take out and bring it home, the snow peas continue to cook in the heat, and lose their crunch by the time I eat it. This sauce is a bit darker in color, but the taste is the same. Make sure you have everything measured, cut, and ready to go before starting - this is one of those Chinese dishes that must be cooked fast and served immediately."

I doubled the sauce, added 1 tsp minced garlic and 2 drops stevia (for sweetness). It was delicious! It doesn't hurt that I picked the snap peas out of my garden only minutes before cooking them :)

This was very good. I had to improvise a bit, but it still worked out fine. Next time I too will double the sauce, and maybe add a splash of lemon juice (like my favorite take out). Thanks!
