Ingredients
- 300 grams snow peas
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the snow peas under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Trim the ends if necessary.
Step 2
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them, setting them aside.
Step 3
In a medium-sized skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
Step 5
Toss the snow peas into the skillet and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Keep stirring to ensure even cooking and to prevent burning.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and honey until well combined. Pour this mixture over the snow peas and toss to coat.
Step 7
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the snow peas are tender-crisp and evenly glazed.
Step 8
Sprinkle salt, black pepper, sesame seeds, and red chili flakes (if using) over the snow peas. Stir briefly to combine.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the snow peas to a serving dish. Serve immediately as a side dish or snack.
