I think the problem with the formulations proposed in this thread is 
that they are all ambiguous, with the obvious context-free meaning 
probably not the one that we want.

zenba, zmadu, jmina all seem likely for expressing that one might like a 
larger portion dished out onto the plate that still has the original 
portion.

In context, when one wants "more peas", one has already eaten the peas 
that were on the plate, and thus the additional serving isn't really an 
increase, but a repetition of the serving, and hence krefu would be a 
better basis.

So how about
pei krefu tu'a loi [peas]
