Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and mince or grate ginger. Dice sweet potato into ½-inch pieces. Trim and remove strings from snap peas. Core, deseed, and dice bell pepper into ½-inch pieces.
• Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites and 1 TBSP ginger (2 TBSP for 4); cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss sweet potato and snap peas with a drizzle of oil, 1 TBSP katsu sauce (half the sauce for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. (You’ll use more katsu sauce later.) Spread out on one side of a baking sheet. • Toss bell pepper on empty side with a drizzle of oil; season with salt and pepper. (For 4, use 2 sheets; roast sweet potatoes and snap peas on top rack and bell peppers on middle rack.) • Roast on top rack until veggies are just tender, 15 minutes (they’ll finish cooking in step 5).
• While veggies roast, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, soy sauce, and as much Sriracha as you like. TIP: Start with half the Sriracha, then taste and add more from there if you like things spicy.
• Once veggies have roasted 15 minutes, remove baking sheet from oven. (For 4 servings, remove sheet with sweet potatoes and snap peas; leave bell peppers roasting.) Using a spatula, carefully toss sweet potato and snap peas with half the sesame seeds (save the rest for serving) and 1 TBSP katsu sauce (remaining sauce for 4). • Return to oven until veggies are tender and sauce is tacky, 5-8 minutes more.
• Fluff rice with a fork and season with salt; divide between bowls. • Arrange sweet potato and snap peas and bell pepper over top in separate sections. Drizzle everything with as much Sriracha soy mayo as you like. Top with scallion greens and remaining sesame seeds. Serve.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the tasty sauces and ginger rice, though some found it too salty or bland. Adjust soy sauce to taste 🍲.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple for most, but some found veggie cooking times off. Consider cooking snap peas separately for better texture.
- Suggestions: Add a protein like tofu, egg, or chicken for more substance. Some enjoyed adding nuts or avocado for extra crunch and flavor.
- Portions: Several wanted more veggies, especially sweet potato. Consider increasing vegetable quantities or offering protein add-ons.
- Texture: Snap peas were often tough or stringy; try cutting smaller or substituting with other veggies like broccoli or zucchini.
Reviews from our home cooks
My snap peas had gone bad so used some broccoli I had and it was a huge hit! The sauce was amazing and the ginger and green onions in the rice were a great touch!!
This recipe was delicious! However, I waited 4 days to make it and the snap peas had molded and 1-2 of the sauce packets were broken open and leaked in the bag. I substituted edamame for the snap peas with good results.
Very nice flavors and textures! The seasoned rice was a great base for these veggies. We added a tiny bit of agave syrup to the sriracha mayo as it was salty and needed something to balance it. One of our favorites so far.
Very very tasty! My snap peas turned out a bit tough which was a bit annoying, but I'm chalking it up to user error.
The sriracha soy Mayo is what made this meal pop 🙌🏻
Subbing out the snap peas might help with texture (the snap peas get stringy so easily). Flavor is great though!
Everything about this meal was so bad we had to order in. The sweet potatoes take a lot longer than 15 minutes to cook leaving the snap peas very soggy. The sauce was just not good. Ver weird combo. I used sweet chili sauce instead. The rice was good. I was also missing the katsu sauce but had some on hand.
There was too much soy sauce in the Sriracha mayo. We ended up remaking the sauce with 1/2 the amount and it was much better
While this meal was delicious, it wasn't as filling for my family as other meals. I would perhaps add more peppers or snap peas.
Snap peas rock - feel free to add them to other meals (like the burger ones)!
