Ingredients
- 200 grams snow peas
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons olive oil (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the snow peas thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Trim the ends of the snow peas if needed, removing any tough strings along the edges.
Place the snow peas in a microwave-safe dish, ensuring they are spread out evenly.
Add 2 tablespoons of water to the dish to create steam.
Cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap, leaving a small corner open to allow steam to escape.
Microwave on high for 2 to 3 minutes, depending on your microwave's power and the desired tenderness. Check after 2 minutes to avoid overcooking.
Carefully remove the dish from the microwave (it will be hot). Drain any excess water if necessary.
Sprinkle the snow peas with salt, olive oil, and black pepper if desired. Toss gently to coat evenly.
Serve immediately as a healthy side dish or enjoy as a standalone snack.
