Ingredients

• 450 grams sugar snap peas
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sugar snap peas under cold water and trim the ends, removing any tough strings if necessary.

Step 2

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and garlic. Set the sauce mixture aside.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the sugar snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the peas are bright green and slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and pour the sauce mixture over the peas. Toss to coat them evenly in the sauce.

Step 7

Sprinkle the sesame seeds, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper over the peas, and stir for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly reduce.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the sugar snap peas to a serving dish.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a side dish or appetizer. Enjoy the tangy, flavorful snap peas!
