Ingredients
- 200 grams snow peas
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the snow peas thoroughly and trim the ends if necessary. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil until well combined. Set aside.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Step 6
Add the snow peas to the skillet and sprinkle with salt. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until they become vibrant green and slightly tender but still crisp.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low and pour the soy sauce mixture over the snow peas. Toss gently to coat all the peas evenly.
Step 8
Cook for an additional minute, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken and create a light glaze.
Step 9
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the glazed snow peas and give them one final toss before removing them from the heat.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a side dish or light snack.
