Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

16 ounces sugar snap peas, cooked (we use Green Giant fresh, steam-in-pack sugar snap peas that are quickly cooked in the microwave - see note)
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce, such as Kikkoman Light (or a gluten-free soy sauce or tamari to make this recipe gluten-free)
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons Sweet and Spicy Pepper Relish (more or less to taste) (or substitute 1 1/2 teaspoons seedless red raspberry jelly and 1/2 teaspoon chili garlic paste, as directed in the notes section below)
pinch kosher salt, only if needed
black sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Steps:

  • Toss hot, cooked sugar snap peas with soy sauce and sesame oil. (If using steam-in-bag peas, be sure to drain off any water that may be in the cooking bag, so it doesn't dilute your sauce mixture).
  • Add Pepper Relish (or jelly / chili garlic paste substitution) to taste. We find that 2 teaspoons is a good starting amount but we often add more - you may want more or less depending on how spicy your batch of Pepper Relish turned out, and on how spicy you like your food.
  • Once you're done adding Pepper Relish (tasting and possibly adding a bit more), and adjusting the other flavors, add a pinch of salt, only if needed.
  • Garnish with black sesame seeds, if desired. They don't add much flavor, but they look really pretty.
  • When serving, be sure to scoop all the way to the bottom of the serving bowl to get some of the flavorful sauce along with each serving of peas.

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.

1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

  • Drain the fried sugar snap peas on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the sugar snap peas immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
