  • In a serving bowl combine the garlic in oil, corn and sesame oils, vinegar and soy sauce, and beat with a fork. Add the snow peas and red pepper and toss.

This salad is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not anything special either.

I found the rice to be a bit too al dente for my liking. I would cook it for a few minutes longer next time.

This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some additional seasoning.

I didn't have any red peppers on hand, so I used orange peppers instead. They worked great!

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The salad was still delicious.
