Snow peas add crunch and flavor to this great Asian favorite.
You can find five-spice powder in the Asian foods or spice section in most larger supermarkets. But, if you can't find it there, try an Asian foods market. Some good Asian restaurants will even sell you the five-spice blend if you request it.

For a real texture treat, try replacing half the white rice with long grain!
