SPICY WOK-CHARRED SNOW PEAS



Spicy Wok-Charred Snow Peas image

High-heat stir-fries are ideal for peas - either snow peas or the sugar snap variety. Assertive seasoning and the slight charring from the wok complement the peas' sweetness wonderfully. The method works well for other spring vegetables, too, like asparagus or baby bok choy clusters. Use a wide cast -iron pan if you don't have a wok. Take care to avoid overcooking; the peas should be a vibrant green color and firm to the bite.

STIR-FRIED BEEF AND SUGAR SNAP PEAS



Stir-Fried Beef and Sugar Snap Peas image

Here's a stir-fry far better than most take-out Chinese, and you can make it with any lean cut of meat - flank steak, London broil, tenderloin, sirloin or skirt steak - so long as it is cut thin against the grain. Most takeout joints use snow peas, but sugar snaps are juicier and more succulent, and just as crunchy. (Their downside is that they are slightly more work: they need to be thinly sliced.) As for the sauce, it's simple: thick dark soy sauce (tamari works well), sesame oil, chicken broth and Madeira.

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed

2/3 cup chicken broth
2 1/2 tablespoons Madeira or sweet sherry

Tips and Conclusion

To ensure your stir-fried sugar snap peas and cherry tomatoes turn out perfectly, follow these tips:

  • Prep your vegetables ahead of time. Cut the sugar snap peas into bite-sized pieces and halve the cherry tomatoes. This will save you time when you're cooking.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet. This will help the vegetables to sear quickly and evenly.
  • Add the vegetables in stages. Start with the sugar snap peas and cook them for a few minutes before adding the cherry tomatoes. This will prevent the tomatoes from becoming overcooked.
  • Stir-fry the vegetables for a short amount of time. Overcooking will make the vegetables mushy. Aim to cook them for 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
  • Season the vegetables to taste. Use a combination of soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and white pepper. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little spice.
  • Serve the stir-fried vegetables immediately. They are best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Conclusion

Stir-fried sugar snap peas and cherry tomatoes is a quick, easy, and delicious side dish. It is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give this recipe a try.
