Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams sugar snap peas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the sugar snap peas under cold water and trim the ends, removing any tough strings if necessary.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and garlic. Set the sauce mixture aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the sugar snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the peas are bright green and slightly tender but still crisp.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the sauce mixture over the peas. Toss to coat them evenly in the sauce.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper over the peas, and stir for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly reduce.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the sugar snap peas to a serving dish.
Serve immediately as a side dish or appetizer. Enjoy the tangy, flavorful snap peas!
