For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the sesame seeds in a dry pan before adding them to the dish. A splash of soy sauce or a drizzle of sesame oil can enhance the umami notes. Freshly grated ginger can add a warm, spicy dimension to this dish. Ensure not to overcook the snow peas, as they should retain their bright green color and a satisfying crunch.
