Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Snow peas
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the snow peas thoroughly under cold running water and pat them dry. Use a small knife to trim the ends and remove the string from one side of each pod (if present).
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to heat until shimmering.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the snow peas to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the garlic and oil.
Season the snow peas with salt and black pepper, and continue to sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the pods are bright green and tender-crisp.
If desired, drizzle the soy sauce over the snow peas and toss to combine during the last 30 seconds of cooking.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the sautéed snow peas to a serving dish. Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy on their own!
