Snow pea pods are available fresh or frozen. To thaw frozen pea pods, just submerge in COLD water for a few minutes before using.
If you wish, you can substitute pork for the beef.

You can also use almost any vegetables in addition to or in place of the cauliflower or snow pea pods.

If you're in a hurry, most grocery stores offer pre-cut stir-fry veggies in the meat section or the produce section.

You can easily substitute or add broccoli florets in place of or alongside the cauliflower in this recipe.

Don't forget, minced garlic is available in most supermarkets in jars in the produce section.
