Ingredients

1 pound sugar snap peas or snow peas
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoons canola oil
3 scallions, white and green, sliced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 tablespoons low-sodium white miso paste
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Directions

Place the snap peas or snow peas into a microwave-safe bowl with 1 tablespoon of water. Cover tightly and microwave for 3 minutes. Carefully remove the cover, drain and set aside.

Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium-high heat. Add the scallions and ginger and saute for 2 minutes. Add the orange juice, chicken broth and vinegar and cook for 5 minutes, uncovered. Turn heat to low and stir in the miso paste and sesame oil. Stir until miso paste is dissolved, about 1 minute.

Pour the sauce over the snow or snap peas toss to coat and serve.

A side dish that is FILLED with flavor!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I tried this recipe because I was looking for a new side dish that would give my entrees a nice boost in flavor. I was VERY... pleased with the results! I served this side dish with some bland, but healthy, chicken breast and it made the dinner a HUGE hit! The miso paste adds so much wonderful flavor to the peas that it can turn any boring chicken into a wow meal!Read more

Great recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I wonder if "strange combo" actually tried the recipe ... I don't think I would want to eat at their house - predictably... bland fare likely. This is creative and well combined. Thank you. Read more
