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.

I used Chinese chili oil for the Asian pepper sauce, omitted sesame seeds (b/c of diverticulosis, added low-sodium soy sauce, and stirred in pre-cooked sushi rice for a one-dish side, accompanied by grilled salmon. Delicious!

Used frozen snow peas and regular sesame seeds and results were very very tasty. Will definitely make it again when fresh snow peas are in season.

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.
