Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Snow peas
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low-sodium)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the snow peas thoroughly under cold running water. Trim the ends and remove any tough strings, if needed.
Slice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into thin strips, discarding the seeds and membranes.
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 sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until they start to soften but still retain some crispness.
Toss in the snow peas and stir-fry for an additional 2–3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender but still crisp.
Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the vegetables. Sprinkle in the salt and ground black pepper. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the top and give it one last quick stir.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the vegetables to a serving dish. Serve immediately as a side dish or over steamed rice for a light meal.
