Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams snow peas
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Rinse the snow peas thoroughly and trim the ends if necessary. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil until well combined. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Add the snow peas to the skillet and sprinkle with salt. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until they become vibrant green and slightly tender but still crisp.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the soy sauce mixture over the snow peas. Toss gently to coat all the peas evenly.
Cook for an additional minute, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken and create a light glaze.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the glazed snow peas and give them one final toss before removing them from the heat.
Serve immediately as a side dish or light snack.
