Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams snow peas
- 2 medium carrots
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Wash the snow peas thoroughly and trim the ends. Pat dry with a kitchen towel.
Peel the carrots and slice them into thin, diagonal rounds approximately 1/8-inch thick.
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 hot, add the minced garlic and saute for about 30 seconds, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they begin to soften.
Stir in the snow peas and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, until the peas are bright green and crisp-tender.
Drizzle the soy sauce over the vegetables and toss to evenly coat.
Sprinkle in the sesame seeds, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional minute.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the sauteed vegetables to a serving dish. Serve hot as a side dish or accompaniment to your main meal.
