- 2 whole carrots
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Wash the snow peas thoroughly and trim the ends if needed.
Peel the carrots and cut them into thin julienne strips.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the carrots to the skillet and stir-fry for 2 minutes, ensuring they are evenly coated and begin to soften.
Add the snow peas to the skillet and sauté for another 2 minutes, until they are vibrant green and slightly tender but still crisp.
Pour the soy sauce into the skillet and continue stirring to coat the vegetables evenly.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, stirring to combine.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate.
Optional: Sprinkle with sesame seeds for added texture and garnish before serving.
