Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Snow peas
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the snow peas under cold water and trim the ends, removing any tough strings along the sides.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and sesame oil. Set aside for later use.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Add the snow peas to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, ensuring they remain crisp but tender.
Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil mixture over the snow peas, and toss to coat them evenly.
Season with salt and black pepper, then stir-fry for an additional 1 minute.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish or pair with rice or noodles for a light meal.
