  • Author: I
  • Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 pound snap peas, trimmed
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (for a vegan option)
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
• Fresh cilantro or green onions (for garnish, optional)


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Snap Peas
• Rinse the snap peas under cold water and trim the ends.

Step 2: Make the Sauce
• In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), and rice vinegar until well combined.

Step 3: Cook the Snap Peas
• In a large skillet or wok, heat a splash of sesame oil over medium-high heat.
• Add the trimmed snap peas to the pan and stir-fry for about 2–3 minutes, until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
• Pour the sesame ginger sauce over the snap peas and continue to stir-fry for an additional 1–2 minutes, ensuring the peas are evenly coated and heated through.

Step 4: Serve
• Remove from the heat and transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with fresh cilantro or sliced green onions if desired.
• Serve warm as a side dish or a light snack.
