Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams snow peas
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the snow peas under cold water and trim the ends and remove any tough strings by pulling them gently along the pod.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the snow peas to the skillet and toss them gently to coat in the garlic and oil.
Cook the snow peas for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the snow peas and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss well to combine the flavors evenly.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the garlic snow peas to a serving dish.
Optional: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the snow peas for an added garnish and serve immediately.
