Jasmine Rice Salad With Snap Peas

---

Very easy summer salad. My mother loves this recipe so much that she started growing her own snap peas. The spices in this recipe is quite flexible: fennel seeds and mustard seeds are also good additions. I also experimented with curry powder and it was very appetizing as well!!
