Tips:

  • Choose tender snap peas: Look for snap peas that are bright green and have a crisp texture. Avoid peas that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Trim the snap peas: Remove the ends of the snap peas before cooking. You can also remove the strings from the peas if desired.
  • Blanch the snap peas: Blanching the snap peas helps to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the peas, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the snap peas and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately transfer the peas to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make the orange glaze: While the snap peas are blanching, make the orange glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, honey, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  • Stir-fry the snap peas: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the oil and the snap peas. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the peas are heated through.
  • Add the orange glaze: Add the orange glaze to the skillet and stir to coat the snap peas. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened and the snap peas are glazed.
  • Serve immediately: Serve the orange glazed snap peas immediately with rice, noodles, or your favorite protein.

Conclusion:

Orange glazed snap peas with carrot is a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The snap peas are blanched to preserve their color and crispness, then stir-fried in a delicious orange glaze. The carrots add a touch of sweetness and color to the dish.
