Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. sugar snap peas
  • 2 T soy sauce
  • 1 tsp. sesame oil
  • 1 tsp. Sriracha sauce more or less to taste
  • 3 slices fresh ginger root
  • 2 large garlic cloves sliced
  • 1 T peanut oil
  • 1 tsp. black sesame seeds or sesame seeds for garnish

Equipment

  • Wooden Spoon
  • Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Chef's Knife
  • Frying Pan

Method
 

  1. Remove the strings from each sugar snap pea by snapping the stem end and pulling the string down the side, then slice each one on the diagonal.
  2. Mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, and Sriracha sauce in a small bowl and set aside.
  3. Cut slices of fresh ginger root and slice garlic cloves for seasoning the oil.
  4. Put the wok or heavy frying pan on the burner and preheat at least one minute.
  5. When the wok is hot, add the peanut oil and let it heat until shimmering.
  6. Add the sliced ginger root and garlic and stir-fry just long enough so that they become fragrant and season the oil, then remove.
  7. Add the sliced sugar snap peas and cook over high heat, stirring constantly, until the peas turn bright green and are just starting to cook, about 2 minutes.
  8. Pour in the sauce mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce just starts to coat the peas, about 2 minutes more.
  9. Serve the Stir Fried Sugar Snap Peas hot, sprinkled with black sesame seeds or sesame seeds for garnish if desired.
