Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams snow peas
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Wash the snow peas thoroughly and trim the ends if necessary, removing any stringy fibers along the edges.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Add the snow peas to the skillet and stir to coat them in the garlicky oil.
Cook the snow peas for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are tender-crisp and bright green.
Season with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Stir well to combine.
Optional: Add soy sauce for an extra savory flavor and stir for another 30 seconds.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the garlicky snow peas to a serving dish.
Serve immediately as a side dish or eat as is for a light, healthy snack.
