Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams snow peas
- 4 units garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Wash and trim the snow peas by snapping off the ends and pulling away any strings, if necessary.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Increase the heat to high and add the snow peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, tossing frequently, until the peas are bright green and tender-crisp.
Drizzle in the soy sauce and sesame oil, and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Toss everything together to coat the snow peas evenly.
Cook for another 30 seconds, then remove the skillet from heat.
Transfer the sautéed snow peas to a serving dish and enjoy immediately as a side dish or light snack.
