Directions

Step 1

Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for 2 more minutes.

Stir in the frozen green peas, mix well, cover the pan, and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until the peas are cooked through.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed.
