Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 g Snow peas
- 150 g Sugar snap peas
- 100 g Green peas (fresh or frozen)
- 1 medium Red bell pepper (optional, for color and flavor)
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger
- 2 tbsp Sesame oil
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Water
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 stalks Scallions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and trim the snow peas and sugar snap peas. Remove the strings from the pods if necessary.
If using fresh green peas, blanch them in boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain and set aside. If using frozen peas, thaw them and set aside.
Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, if using.
Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), honey, cornstarch, and water to create the stir-fry sauce.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sesame oil and let it get hot.
Add the garlic and ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the snow peas, sugar snap peas, and red bell pepper (if using) to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are crisp-tender.
Add the green peas to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes.
Push the vegetables to the edges of the skillet to create a well in the center. Pour in the stir-fry sauce and let it bubble for 1 minute, then toss everything together to coat the vegetables evenly.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped scallions on top for garnish if desired.
Serve immediately as a side dish or over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
