Ingredients

• 300 grams snow peas
• 4 units garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the snow peas by snapping off the ends and pulling away any strings, if necessary.

Step 2

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 5

Increase the heat to high and add the snow peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, tossing frequently, until the peas are bright green and tender-crisp.

Step 6

Drizzle in the soy sauce and sesame oil, and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Toss everything together to coat the snow peas evenly.

Step 7

Cook for another 30 seconds, then remove the skillet from heat.

Step 8

Transfer the sautéed snow peas to a serving dish and enjoy immediately as a side dish or light snack.
