Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams sugar snap peas
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the sugar snap peas thoroughly and trim the ends. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Peel the fresh ginger and grate it finely using a microplane or grater. Mince the garlic clove.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat.
Once the oil is shimmering, add the grated ginger and minced garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds, stirring continuously, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the sugar snap peas to the skillet and stir well to coat them in the ginger and garlic mixture.
Reduce the heat slightly and let the peas sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender-crisp and bright green.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and brown sugar until the sugar dissolves. Pour this sauce over the peas in the skillet.
Stir well to evenly distribute the sauce among the sugar snap peas, cooking for another 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds, salt, and black pepper over the peas and give a final toss to incorporate all the ingredients.
Remove from heat and transfer the gingered sugar snap peas to a serving dish. Serve warm as a side to grilled chicken, seafood, or tofu for a fresh, Australian-inspired meal.
