Stir-fried snow peas are a quick, healthy, and vibrant dish, perfect as a side or light meal. Here’s a simple guide to making them deliciously crisp and flavorful.
Ingredients: 300g fresh snow peas, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tbsp cooking oil, 1 tsp soy sauce, ½ tsp sesame oil, a pinch of salt, and optional red pepper flakes for heat.
Steps:
1. Prep: Trim the ends of the snow peas and pull off the stringy fibers. Rinse and pat dry.
2. Blanch (optional): For extra tenderness, blanch snow peas in boiling water for 1 minute, then plunge into ice water to stop cooking. Drain well.
3. Stir-fry: Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high. Add minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant (10-15 seconds).
4. Cook: Add snow peas and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. If blanched, cook just 1-2 minutes.
5. Season: Drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil. Add salt (and red pepper flakes if using). Toss to coat evenly.
6. Serve: Transfer to a plate immediately. Enjoy hot with rice or noodles.
Tips: For extra flavor, add sliced mushrooms or carrots along with the garlic. Avoid overcooking to keep the peas crunchy. This versatile dish adapts well to herbs like basil or mint for a fresh twist.
