10	Add the peas and turnips and mix again. Reheat for 2 or 3 minutes, check seasoning, and you're ready to go.

Remarks

No sesame oil? Replace it with olive oil, or the oil of your choice, or even a good knob of butter.
If you don't have new peas, replace them with classic peas or snow peas.
For an extra kick, add a dash of lemon juice or soy sauce, or both, at the end of the recipe.
