Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar snap peas
- 3 cups baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and trim the sugar snap peas by removing their stem ends and strings, if necessary.
Rinse the baby spinach thoroughly and set aside to drain.
Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the grated ginger and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Toss in the sugar snap peas and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until they are bright green and slightly tender but still crisp.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet. Stir gently and cook for 1-2 minutes, just until the spinach wilts.
Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the vegetables. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.
Stir everything together to coat the vegetables evenly in the seasoning.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the dish to a serving bowl. Serve immediately as a side dish to complement your meal.
