[Toast the sesame seeds while the stir-frying is going on.] In a
non-stick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. [If using raw
shrimp, stir-fry till they are done; remove and drain.] Add the
mushrooms, bell peppers, celery, onions, and ginger; stir-fry for
3 minutes. Add the garlic and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add snow peas
and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce mixture and cook,
stirring constantly, until the sauce starts to thicken. Stir in the
shrimp/chicken/ham.

In a large bowl, toss the hot pasta with the vegetables/meat sauce
and toasted sesame seeds.
