  • 3
    Stir in bell pepper and sugar snap peas; cover and cook 5 to 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.

  • You’ll find the rice and vermicelli mix where the rice mixes are located in the grocery store. The fried rice variety contains almonds, which add flavor and crunch to this dish.
  • Use 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger instead of the fresh gingerroot.
  • Fresh sugar snap peas can be used instead of the frozen.
  • Pick up some frozen egg rolls to heat and serve with this dish.
