Tips:
- Choose fresh snow peas and carrots. Look for snow peas that are bright green and crisp, and carrots that are smooth and free of blemishes.
- Trim the snow peas and carrots before cooking. Remove the tough ends of the snow peas and peel the carrots. Cut the carrots into thin slices or julienne strips.
- Blanch the snow peas and carrots briefly before stir-frying. This will help them retain their bright color and crisp texture.
- Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet. This will help the vegetables cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
- Stir-fry the vegetables over high heat, using a little oil. This will help them cook quickly and retain their flavor.
- Add a splash of water or broth to the wok or skillet if the vegetables start to stick.
- Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
- Serve the buttered snow peas and carrots immediately. They are best enjoyed fresh from the wok or skillet.
Conclusion:
