Ingredients

1 pound fresh snow peas, trimmed
2 teaspoons peanut or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup diagonally sliced green onions (white parts only)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon Sriracha or other hot Asian pepper sauce, or to taste
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the snow peas and blanch for 30 to 45 seconds. Remove the peas from the water with a slotted spoon and plunge into an ice bath, stirring until completely cooled. Remove from the ice bath and pat the snow peas completely dry.

In a large skillet or wok, heat the peanut and sesame oils over medium-high heat. Add the green onions and cook, stirring, until soft, 1 minute. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the snow peas and Sriracha and cook just until heated through, about 1 1/2 minutes.

Remove from the heat and toss the sesame seeds into the snow pea mixture. Serve immediately.

Absolutely Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a quick and yummy recipe. We added more garlic, green onion and hot sauce. (We kicked it up a notch!) Since snow peas... are rather expensive, we now often use broccoli and this dish is just as good with either veggie. I really recommend it.Read more

Versatile and delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a delicious recipe, as written. There's some alchemy in this recipe. But it's versatile and delicious with other... vegetables, too. The first time we made it, we only had green beans, so we blanched them a little longer than the recipe said, and used red pepper flakes instead of hot sauce. Now both the snow peas and green beans are in our regular rotation. YUM.Read more
